1915] THE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF AUGUST 21st, 1914 5 



large sheet that had been spread upon the ground. The direction 

 in which they moved vvas south-east or east-south-east, at right 

 angles to their length ; and their velocity was a couple of metres 

 per second. 



During the eclipse we took about thirty photographs with 

 the auroral cameras, and seventy single photographs with the 

 cinematograph. Oxaal also took some photographs with his 

 own camera. 



As the corona was of small extent, it did not come out 

 very clearly in the small photographs. The larger expeditions in 

 Sweden and Russia and at Sandnæssjøen, which were all equipped 

 at great expense and had most perfect instruments, will no doubt 

 have returned with very much finer photographs than the modest 

 specimens that I arn producing here; but I thought that the 

 members of this Society might nevertheless be interested in seeing 

 what we obtained.
