Abstract
THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 1882, May 17.—The following elements of this eclipse depend upon the lunar tables of Damoiseau and the solar tables of Carlini, and are therefore not intended to be used in a calculation of the precise circumstances for any place. They will, nevertheless, serve to afford a better idea of the character of the eclipse near the central track than can be obtained from Hallaschka's map in his Elementa Eclipsium, where by an error of calculation the eclipse is shown broadly annular.
