Total Eclipse of the Sun, 1901, May 18. 265 



No. 5. Exposed 1 minute after commencement of totality. Ex- 

 posure 8 seconds. Plate, Imperial Fine Grain Ordinary. 



A negative very similar to No. 4. 



No. 6. Exposed at 77 seconds after commencement of totality. 

 Exposure 10 seconds. Plate, Imperial Fine Grain 

 Ordinary. 



No. 7. Exposed at 94 seconds after totality. Exposure 6 seconds. 



Plate, Imperial Ordinary. 

 This negative is perhaps not so well defined as the others. 



No. 8. Exposed at 107 seconds after totality. Exposure 6 seconds. 

 Plate, Imperial Ordinary. 



This negative is not very dense, but the corona is very large, and it 

 shows a greater extension of the coronal rays than any of the 

 previous ones. 



No. 9. Exposed at 126 seconds after totality. Exposure 10 seconds. 

 Plate, Imperial Fine Grain Ordinary. 



No. 10. Exposed at 144 seconds after totality. Exposure 8 seconds. 

 Plate, Imperial Fine Grain Ordinary. 



No. 11. Exposed at 162 seconds after totality. Exposure 6 seconds. 

 Plate, Imperial Fine Grain Ordinary. 



On this negative it is very clearly seen that the bulbous curves at 

 the base of the great north-east wing are laid over and across other 

 coronal curves in the background. 



No. 12. Exposed at 176 seconds after totality. Exposure 4 seconds. 

 Plate, Imperial Fine Grain Ordinary. 



This photograph shows perhaps best the corona in the south-west 

 region. Here there seem to be a number of synclinal groups, which 

 give the impression of not being all in the plane of the photograph, as 

 usually appears to be the case in coronal negatives, but in different 

 planes. 



No. 13. Exposed at 191 seconds after totality. Exposure 2 seconds. 

 Plate, Imperial Fine Grain Ordinary. 



The corona is here very restricted. In the south-west region the 

 exposure does not seem to have been sufficient to bring up all the 

 synclinal groups, and in consequence the south polar rays have the 

 appearance of encroaching on this side, 



No. 14. Exposed at 202 seconds after the commencement of totality. 

 Exposure instantaneous. Plate, Lumiere Orthochromatic, 

 Series A.
