Abstract
THE Navy Department in Washington is now fitting out an Expedition to Angola, on the west coast of Africa, to observe the total eclipse of the sun which will be visible there on the afternoon of December 22 next. Prof. Todd, of Amherst College, has been appointed chief of the party, a position similar to that which he held two years ago in conducting the Eclipse Expedition to Japan.
