54 ASTRONOMY 



Other Universities. Courses in Astronomy are given in 

 almost all the provincial universities of France. The op- 

 portunities of most interest to the graduate student are 

 likely to be found at 



, MARSEILLE, where the observatory is open to foreign 

 men of science for research, and practical instruction for 

 students is arranged, under the direction of FABRY, the 

 distinguished spectroscopist, known for his work on the 

 precise measurement of wave-lengths. 



LYON, where the observatory at St.-Genis-Laval, 

 though principally devoted to research, admits students 

 for practical instruction in astronomy, under the care of 

 LUIZET, one of the best-known students of variable stars. 



TOULOUSE, where the observatory, which has taken 

 an important share in the preparation of the great inter- 

 national photographic "Carte du Ciel," admits foreign 

 investigators, and gives practical instruction to students 

 in the University. 



The observatories of ALGIERS and BORDEAUX, which 

 are also doing work of the first quality, are likewise con- 

 nected with the Universities situated in these cities.
