Abstract
IT is very satisfactory that reports of the recent eclipse expeditions indicate that at some stations the weather conditions were all that could be desired, because we know that at several stations opportunities for securing good results were frustrated by clouds. The Hamburg Observatory party chose a spot which, however, did not come under the second category, and judging by the first portion of the report published,1 which deals chiefly with the general arrangements and journey to and from the position of observation, it achieved complete success in all lines of work. The report itself is of great interest, and is accompanied, not only by excellent reproductions from photographs of camp scenes, &c., but by capital pictures of the corona. The style of reproduction here employed is to be highly recommended, and other publishers of reports might with advantage copy the good example set.
