PROFESSOR J. NORMxiN LOCKTER ON THE 
(4.) Note the time when Mr. Lockyer calls “ 180°,” and call “1 minute” after 
the lapse of 6 m. 50 s. 
(5.) Note the times of beginin'ng and end of totality, as signalled bv l\[r. 
Lockyer. 
S^MiTH and A. Saunders (1st Cl. P.O.’s) to take charge of stop-watch. 
(1.) At signal “go” from Mr. Lockyer, Smith, with back to the sun, to 
announce “ 105 seconds” and afterwards give the time reiuainingf every 
5 seconds by such calls as •' 95 seconds more.” 
Saunders meanwhile to observe general phenomena, 
(2.) At “65 seconds more,” Saunders to turn his attention to stop-watch and 
to call “ 60 ” simultaneously with Smith, afterwards continuing the calls 
every 5 seconds. During the last 45 seconds Smith to note the general 
appearances. 
Contact Observations (Staff Paymaster PvAmsay, and Staff Engineer Underhill). 
(1.) Select coloured glasses to enable you to comfortably observe the sun before 
the eclipse begins. 
(2.) Note time of first contact, as indicated by the chronometer provided. 
(3.) Similarly note times of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th contacts. 
(4.) Compare chronometer with ship’s chronometers. 
(5.) Note general impressions of phenomena. 
Thermometers (C. SYaiES, P.O., 1st CL, to report). 
(1.) Prepare forms for entering observations. 
(2.) Set up screens 3 ft. 6 in. high to shield thermometers from direct rays of 
sun, the thermometer to be 3 ft. from the ground and 1 ft. from screen. 
(3.) Begin readings at first contact. 
(4.) End readings at last contact. 
(5.) Bead every 5 minutes, or oftener, if rapid changes are noted. 
Observations of Stars (Rev. E. J. Vaughan to report). 
(1.) Give list of first magnitude stars seen close to sun. 
(2.) State whether any second or third magnitude stars were seen. 
(3.) \Cas the number of stars about equal to that usually seen at full moon, or 
was it darker and more stars visible ? 
Landscape Camera (The Marquis of Graham). 
(1.) Before totality, see that the sun’s image is near the centre of the plate. 
(2.) Expose a plate for 1 second when the timekeeper calls “95 seconds left.” 
(3.) Expose a plate for 5 seconds when “55 seconds” is called. 
(4.) Note your general impressions of the phenomena.
