cr=2.2 i6 cm.; Kepler .... and the principal topographic details are very 



visible. 



Goodacrc, Highgate, Engl., (103); weather clear; markings more 

 c = 2>-2i distinct to the n. e. than in the telescope. 



Crossley and GledhUl, Halifax, Engl., (102) ; weather all that could 



be desired. 

 c = 3.7 The principal lunar seas, etc., were readil_v seen and identified with the 



help of an opera-glass. 



Observers at Louvain, (104), saw the seas and the northern region of 

 • the moon with the n. e. Others, at various points, with telescopes large 



and small, report visibility of details. 



1892 XI 4; 1.092; Grade 



c C. Europe, N. Sea, N. Atlantic, Greenland, Baffin's Bay, Queen Char- 



lotte's Sd., S. Pacific, Antarctica, Mozambique Channel, Tripoli. 

 Gale, Paddington, Sydney, N. S. W., (107) ; well seen, in spite of haze 

 and light cloud. 



c = 2.0 816 inch reflector; the want of sharpness of objects on the lunar sur- 

 face was noticeable throughout, although Jupiter was very well 



defined with power 280 Detail was only seen near the northern 



and western limbs during the total phase. 



Russell, Sj'dney Obsy., (no) ; was occupied with photographs of the 



eclipse, and makes no report about the visibility of details, except that 



none were visible for a while after first contact ; aperture not stated, 

 breaks in clouds. The coppery color was brilliant, except in early 

 stages. Contrary to the prediction of the Nautical Almanac, he says 

 that this eclipse as observed was certainly not total. 



Doberck, Hong Kong Obsy., (106) ; weather not stated; 2% inch 



binocular ; nothing about visibility of details ; the early shadow was 



bluish gray, the later stages brighter. 



In France, the moon rose in bright twilight, past totality. Gio- 



vanozzi, Florence, (108), and Cartel, Chateau Chinon, (105), both say 



that the eclipsed part was entirely invisible, not distinguishable from 



— ■ • the sky. v. Glasenapp, Abastuman, (109), emphasizes the varying 



intensity of the red color, and gives the moment of its disappearance, 

 S h. 04 m. G. M. T., which agrees with Russell's statement of S h. o.'^ m. 

 He says nothing of details. 



jSg4 III 21; 0.248 ; Grade o 



c N. W. Pacific, Mackenzie Valley, Arctic O., E. of Ural Mts. 



Rzyszczewski, Minoussinsk, E. Siberia, (m) ; sky completely pure; 

 twilight over mid-eclipse. 



c=:3.o 7.2 cm.; he notes (i), the complete invisibility, even in the field of 



my telescope of the eclipsed part of the moon .... for even 



the contour of the disk was invisible. (2) .... the shadow was like 

 an opaque smoke, completely black, with a slight greenish shimmer. 

 (3) The eclipsed part is much more invisible, both to the n. e. and 

 in the telescope, than the ashy disk of our satellite during the first 

 days of the first quarter
