Anniversary Meeting. 



[Nov. 30 y 



Since the greater part of the foregoing was written, the results of 

 a photographic study of the spectrum of b Cephei, with special 

 reference to its movement in the line of sight, have been published 

 by Belopolsky.* Belopolsky differs from me in classing the star as a 

 solar one, although he draws attention to numerous differences 

 between the spectrum of the star and that of the sun. 



He also finds, as I have found, that there is probably no change of 

 spectrum corresponding to the light changes, except a general change 

 of intensity. 



The photographs discussed in the present paper were taken by 

 Messrs. Baxandall, Shackleton, Butler, and Wardale, between Febru- 

 ary and June, 1894.
