Abstract
OCCOLTATIONS OF URANUS IN 1908.—From Dr. Downing we have received, as an excerpt from No. 2, vol. lxviii., of the Monthly Notices, a table showing the times and angles of immersion and emersion for the occultations of Uranus by the moon observable at British observatories during the present year. The places specifically named are Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington, Natal, Perth (W.A.), and the Cape, and the dates of the occultations are April 22, May 19, July 13, August 9, and October 3. Dr. Downing hopes that the publication of these data will enable astronomers favourably situated to observe some peculiarities in the appearance of the planet at the time of occupation.
