78 SCIENCE 
maintained by the university, the holders of which, 
usually for three years, are in training for pro- 
fessional astronomers. In the last year of their fel- 
lowship they habitually devote their whole time to 
their own investigations as a basis for their Ph.D. 
thesis. There is also available for a like purpose 
the Martin Kellogg Fellowship, income $1,200 per 
annum, the holder of which must have received the 
degree of Ph.D. or its equivalent. 
The \observatory is mainly supported by an an- 
nual appropriation from the regents of the uni- 
versity of approximately $33,000. 
The D. O. Mills Expedition to the Southern 
Hemisphere, a temporary branch of the Lick Ob- 
servatory, is maintained by direct personal gifts 
from friends of astronomy amounting to about 
$7,000 per year. 
2. The researches of the Lick Observatory are 
printed in the following: 
Publications, Vols. I.—XII., 4to, 1887-1914. 
Bulletins, Vols. I.-IX., 4to, 1901-1917. 
Contributions, 8vo, Nos. 1-5, 1889-1895 (now 
discontinued). 
Moon Atlas, 1897. 
Maria Mitchell Observatory, Mass. 
Margaret Harwood, Director. 
1. Principal of Observatory Funds, $38,100; 
annual interest $1,730 approximately. Nine tenths 
of the income may be credited to research. 
2. Results of researches are published by the 
Harvard College Observatory in its Annals. 
Nantucket, 
Winchester Observatory, Yale University, New 
Haven, Conn. Mason F. Smith in charge. 
1. No teaching is done at the observatory. The 
total funds, $450,000, are applicable to research and 
maintenance but are at present subject to large 
annuity charges. Income for 1916 was $13,000. 
2. Researches are printed from observatory 
funds as memoirs. 
Columbia University Observatory, New York, N. 
Y. Harold Jacoby, Professor of Astronomy. 
1. Participates in research funds of the univer- 
sity. 
Smith College Observatory, Smith College, North- 
ampton, Mass. Harriet W. Bigelow, Professor 
of Astronomy. 
1. No endowment for research. ‘‘Computing 
Fund’’ of $100 annually is used for assistance in 
preparing observations of the observatory for pub- 
lication. Work is limited closely to teaching. 
2. ‘*Comet Obseryations’’ from the observatory 
have appeared in the Astronomische Nachrichten 
[N. S. Vor. XLVIII. No. 1230 
and the Astronomical Journal, in about fifteen 
numbers. 
Goodsell Observatory, Carleton College, North- 
field, Minn. Herbert C. Wilson, Director. 
1. No funds specifically devoted to research. 
For several years past the college has made ap- 
propriations of small amounts for this purpose. 
Aid ($650) has also been received during the past 
two years from the Watson Fund of the National 
Academy of Sciences, to assist the work of the di- 
rector in determining the photographic positions of 
asteroids. 
2. Five numbers of Publications of the Good- 
sell Observatory have been issued, 1890-1917, the 
eost of which has been defrayed mostly by pri- 
vate subscription, and in part from the earnings 
of the magazine Popular Astronomy. The college 
will publish future researches if not too costly. 
Wheaton College Observatory, Wheaton College, 
Norton, Mass. Laura M. Lundin, Assistant Pro- 
fessor of Mathematics, in charge. 
1, At present devoted wholly to purposes of in- 
struction.

ada. Otto Klotz, Director. 
1. Work of observatory is wholly research and 
is supported by direct vote of public money. 
2. Publications of the Dominion Astronomical 
Observatory issued from time to time.

2. Publications: 
1. Short Communications, which appear from

in the Astrophysical Journal. Six volumes 
of Contributions have already been pub- 
lished.

tions. Few publications of this character
