Abstract
THERE are already observatories at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, University College, and the Drapers' Company Transit House, but there was felt to be need for further opportunities in the University of London for research work. Prof. L. N. G. Filon and Mr. C. C. L. Gregory were fortunate in receiving an offer from Mr. J. G. Wilson of the 24-inch reflecting telescope with which his father, Mr. W. E. Wilson, carried out many useful researches at Darramona, Ireland; the only condition attached to the gift was that the University should erect a suitable building for it.
