THE SOUTHERN SKIES. 



By Richard A. Proctor. 



OWING to the iDgeniously-distmbing arrangements made 

 by the Post-office authorities in regard to the American 

 mails, I have not yet received proofs of the map which will 



appear in this month's Knowledge. Fortunately, the 

 exjilanatory letterpress accompanjing the maps which have 

 already appeared will suffice to show how the map of this 

 month is to be interpreted. It will be understood that in 

 this map, as in the other.-, the horizontal line eg w marks 

 the horizon for England, the prime vertical for the Southern 

 heavens.
