26 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 76 



c=4.S 6.0 cm.; shadow dark or iron gray; no details visible. 



Quenisset, Nanterre, France, (219) ; with a telescope, [aperture not 



stated], the umbra so transparent that it allowed all the features of the 

 lunar surface to be seen. Coloration slate gray. 



• Aynie, Douai, (209) ; at mid-eclipse the part in the umbra was in- 

 visible to the n. e. ; in telescope, [aperture not stated], bluish gray; 

 like the ashy light at first quarter. 



Burnerd, (210) ; place and sky not stated. A lunar eclipse always 



calls forth such contradictory statements. Here we have a number 

 of observers favored with clear skies, and most of them in disagree- 

 ment as to the intensity of the earth's shadow To me the 



eclipse was a decidedly light one— so much so that the obscured por- 

 tion of the disk was clearly visible to the n. e. With 2^4 inch o. g. 

 and 6 inch reflector, several craters beneath shadow stood out promi- 

 nently, especially Aristarchus. 

 Dennett, (214) ; place not stated. 



The 2 inch held in the hand .... showed the markings within the 



shadow even. 



W. G. T., Southampton, Engl., (221) ; fairly favorable, occasional 



passing clouds. 



5 inch ; the bright crater Aristarchus was visible through the shadow 



all the time the eclipse lasted. 

 Grade i is a compromise.

c British Columbia, Franklin Str., Greenland. 



Bcnoit, Juvisy, France, (222) ; superb weather ; astronomical twilight, 

 a 3.9 c 10.8 cm. ; the shadow is not very opaque ; certain details on the disk 



are visible, and the limb is perfectly visible.

 c = 4.i No details visible on the eclipsed part, either with an opera-glass or 



the n. e. 



Guerin, Marseille, (224) ; sky pure ; astronomical twilight. 

 = 5.4 7-5 cm.; the shadow was black without color, and although the 



eclipsed part of the moon was quite visible in the instrument, the 



brilliant mountains, even Tycho, disappeared completely. 



Block, La-Queue-des-Yvelins, France, (223) ; astronomical twilight. 

 • 4.3 cm. ; throughout the duration of the observations the obscured 



part was visible although very weak, and not one detail of topography 



was perceived in the shadow, which was colorless.
