Abstract
OBSERVATIONS OF SATURN'S RINGS.—It will be remembered that on the occasion of the disappearance of Saturn's rings in 1907, Prof. Barnard, and other observers, found that even when the rings were at minimum visibility there still remained bright condensations on either side of the planet. These, Prof. Barnard suggested, were possibly due to the sunlight sifting through and being reflected from the particles comprising the crape ring.
