Abstract
BRIGHT-LINE STARS.—Exact information about stars with bright lines in their spectra is appreciated by all who have the advance of celestial science at heart. In a paper in the June number of Astronomy and Astro-Physics, Prof. W. W. Campbell brings together all that is known with regard to objects of this spectroscopic character, and adds to the literature a number of important observations made by himself. Since 1867, when MM. Wolf and Rayet discovered three bright-line stars in Cygnus, fifty-two objects of the same type have been found, forty-two of this number being placed to the credit of the Harvard College Observatory.
