442 INTENSITY OF CORONAL LIGHT DURING THE SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 1893. 
connecting the decrease of brightness of the corona in terms of its distance from 
the limb. 
In conclusion we desire to acknowledge our great indebtedness to Captain Lang 
and the officers of H.M.S. Alecto for their ready assistance and for the zeal and 
intelligence with which they co-operated in the work of the expedition. The 
party is also under many obligations to Captain Festing and the other officers 
of H.M.S. Blonde for their kindness and hospitality on theHwoyage home from 
Bathurst to Las Palmas. 
[Since this paper was written we have to deplore the death, from fever, at 
St. Kitts, of Mr. Forbes. He was a young man of great promise, and a most careful 
and painstaking observer, and his amiable disposition and uniform courtesy endeared 
him to every member of the expedition.]
