300 SIK F. W. DYSON, PKOF. A. S. EDDINGTON AND MR. C. DAVIDSON- ON A 



somewhat before those calculated. As the times recorded were reckoned from second 

 contact, it is assumed that this occurred May 28, 23h. 58m. 18s. G.M.T. 

 The details of the exposures are given in the following tables : 



EXPOSURES with the 13-inch Astrographic Telescope stopped to 8 inches. 



EXPOSURES with the 4-inch Telescope. 



In the fourth column the letter stands for Imperial Ordinary. 



E ., ,. Empress. 

 S ,, Sovereign. 

 SR ,. Ilford Special Rapid. 



With the astrographic telescope 12 stars are shown on a number of plates, and seven 

 stars on all but three (Nos. 13, 14 and 19). Of the eight plates taken with the 4-inch 

 lens, seven show seven stars, but No. 6, which was taken through cloud, does not show 

 any. 



The following table of temperatures, communicated by Dr. MORIZE, and converted 

 into the Fahrenheit scale, shows how slight the fall was during totality, probably 

 owing to the large amount of cloud in the earlier stages which checked the usual daily 

 rise.
