Abstract
SUBSEQUENTLY to the Algiers eclipse of 1900, it occurred to me that the “shadow-bands” visible at times of total solar eclipse might be merely another aspect of the “boiling” distortions of the sun's limb inseparable from daily observations. The last few years have therefore been employed by me in studying the characteristics of “boiling” with the view of making a direct comparison of evidences at the first opportunity. This opportunity presented itself in the recent total solar eclipse observed by me at Cás Catalá, in Mallorca, on August 30 last.
