Abstract
THE Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. has issued a report (’ ‘Bulletin de la Commission pour les recherches du Soleil”, 13) by Profs. Gerasimovic and Scerbakova, dealing with the circumstances of the forthcoming total solar eclipse. The eclipse will take place on June 19, 1936, and the line of totality crosses the U.S.S.R. from the North Caucasus, over the Volga steppes, and over Siberia to the far eastern provinces. The track passes over both Omsk and Tomsk, which are of course large cities which will offer facilities to observers. In the present report, an account is given of the meteorological data which have been specially collected since 1933 at various stations along the track of totality, in order that prospective observers of the eclipse may have the best choice of stations likely to enjoy clear weather on the day of the eclipse.
