Abstract
IT is customary for the Astronomer Royal to present his annual report to the Board of Visitors of the Royal Observatory on the first Saturday in June, but as it is easier to transfer such a function to another date than to change the time of a total eclipse of the sun, the usual day of meeting was adjourned until June 26 last. On this day, the weather, however, did not quite come up to summer standard; but fortunately the rain held off, and the afternoon proved sufficiently fine to allow the numerous visitors to inspect the buildings and instruments. As is customary, we give below a brief résumé of the report.
