THE INDIAN ECLIPSE, 1898. 



represented, and several of them by more than one design. I 

 believe that no single set of the Ahmadabad rupees is complete, 

 Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius not appearing in any of 

 the published catalogues, though rupees showing each of the 

 signs are said to be in existence. Of the others, one of the 

 rarest the scorpion rupee is in the British Museum collec- 

 tion, and is one of those figured below. 



Our journey to Ahmadabad had been rendered very pleasant 

 by the company of Mr. and Mrs. Oakes. At Bombay we met 

 Mr. Henry Cousens, who had taken so much trouble on behalf 

 of the party when it was hoped that we should be able to 

 arrange a camp at Masur. Mr. Cousens had observed the 

 eclipse himself from Jeur, and had taken six beautiful negatives 

 of the corona, which he presented to my wife, besides a 

 number of photographs of the camps of our fellow-members, 

 Prof. Naegamvala and Prof. Burckhalter, and also of the Lick 

 Observatory party under Prof. Campbell.
