extending S. S. E. from Tycho is clearly visible throughout its whole

invisible.

 ever. 



1898 VII 3; 0.934 ; Grade 2 



c Southern Pacific Ocean, Australia. 



Saija, Catania, (153) ; sky clear throughout eclipse, 

 a 3.0 c 12 cm. ; a little way inside the shadow edge the lunar topography is 



not visible. 



Ricco, Catania, (152) ; sky clear throughout eclipse. 

 a 3.0c 153 cm.; Aristarchus brilliant, Kepler and Copernicus well seen. 



Marckimck, Gibraltar, (150) ; very favorable circumstances.
