Abstract
THE places sent you of the objects which I designated by (a) and (b) in my observations during the total eclipse on July 29 were derived from the hurried readings of the circles made immediately upon my return from the Eclipse Expedition, in order to be able to answer numerous inquiries addressed to me for information in regard to these observations. Subsequently I made a careful determination, and the readings of the circles and all the data for a definitive reduction of the observations were communicated to astronomers in this country and in Europe. These have probably already come to your knowledge and need not be repeated here.
