Abstract
THE failure of the Christmas Island eclipse expedition is a great astronomical disappointment. Messrs. Jones and Melotte have devoted ten months or more to it, and hoped to secure useful photometric results for connecting the northern and southern stellar magnitude scales in addition to the eclipse work. The climate, however, proved unexpectedly unfavourable, and practically nothing could be done.
