b = 2,.y Aperture not stated. All lunar detail was completely obliterated, and 



though it was decidedly a red eclipse, it was undoubtedly a very dark 



one. 

 • Comstock, Madison, Wis., (118) ; perfectly clear sky; noteworthy for 



the unusual brightness of the moon during totality. 

 • Qiielin, Angers, France, (126) ; at first a halo, then clear. Aperture 



not stated; no detail visible in telescope, and, part of the time, moon 



invisible. 

 Rudaux, Donville, France, (127) ; sky and means not stated, but he 



observed throughout totality, and no doubt with telescope. 



Comparing his sketches of the eclipse with theory, he concludes that 



the apparent center of the shadow is north of the theoretical center. 



Whence one may conclude, he says, that the terrestrial southern 



hemisphere enjoys an atmosphere very pure, refracting the solar light 



en entier. [Sketches not published by editor.] 



Newbegin, (123); place not stated, no doubt in England; fine and 



clear, [last hour of totality]. 

 ■ Finder, aperture not stated ; the whole outline of the moon and all 



the details of the surface were most distinct 



1895 IX 3; 1.557; Grade 2 



c Antarctica, S. Atlantic, Ashanti, Morocco, Iceland, near Bering's Str., 



New Zealand. 



Nauzvelaerts, Rosario de Santa Fe, Arg., (131) ; fairly good sky up to 



totality. 

 c= 1.3 Aperture not stated; Aristarchus remained visible some time, Kepler, 



Copernicus and Tycho disappeared almost at the time of contact with 



the shadow. At totality, to the n. e., the color is reddish In 



the telescope, .... all the selenographic configuration is readily 



visible Certain regions, as the Mare Fecunditatis and Mare 



Serenitatis, are very dark. 



Barnard, Mt. Hamilton, (128) ; night very satisfactory; observed 



throughout eclipse. 

 0=1.5 2^ inch; in telescope all the lunar details clearly seen. The dark 



regions seen easily with the n. e. 



Perrine, Mt. Hamilton, (133) ; sky overhead clear, and the air very 



transparent. 

 c:^ 1.5 12 inch. The moon remained plainly visible all through the total phase, 



the main features being discernible with the n. e., and distinct in the 



telescope. 



Payne and Wilson, Northfield, Minn., (132) ; sky cloudless, hazy at 



beginning, clear afterwards. 

 b = 1.7 Shadow at first very dark, to n. e. almost black ; No details 



visible till [about 10 m. after second contact] when Aristarchus was 



dimly seen. Soon after, many markings visible in 16 inch, but invisible 



in 5 inch finder. 



Campos-Roderigiies, Lisbon-Tapada, (129); sky not stated; totality 



began in mid-twilight. 

 b = S.O II. 7 cm.; the details of the disk were continuously visible, particularly
