from an oxygen tube, a ley den jar and air space being introduced in 

 the secondary circuit of the Buhmkorff coil. (See Plate 8.) 



This photograph shows the coincidence of stellar lines with the 

 group of three strong oxygen lines, viz. : —

and other neighbouring oxygen lines beyond the range of the three 

 prism train. The lines are all displaced towards the red by motion. 



On March 15 the Earth by its motion round the Sun was receding 

 from e Canis Minoris, with a velocity of 17 kilometres per second, 

 which agrees with the direction of the displacement of the oxygen 

 lines. There has not yet been time to determine the constants of the 

 single-prism spectroscope, but this does not affect the question of |the 

 identification of the oxygen lines in the spectrum of e Canis Majoris. 



The plates of the spectra of /3 Crucis and e Canis Majoris were 

 exposed and developed by my assistant, Mr. J. Lunt.
