Abstract
FOR three years, from 1893 to 1896, Mr. A. S. Flint, of the Washburn Observatory, has devoted himself indefatigably to the determination of stellar, parallax, and his results, contained in the eleventh volume of that observatory's publications, form a very handsome contribution to this class of inquiry. Not only are these results of great interest in themselves, but they offer a larger collection of new material than has ever been made on a single occasion. We have not only the observations of nearly a hundred stars, but all arranged and discussed on one uniform plan, a not unimportant factor in their bearing on the cosmical problem to which such results are applicable. The stars are scattered variously over the sky from the Pole to about 30° S. declination, and have been selected to include stars of considerable proper motion, a number of Prof. Burnham's double stars which show proper motion, and some twelve binary systems.
