Abstract
Colonel Tennants Station at Roorkee, India. THE full and very able account of the preparations for observing the Transit of Venus drawn up by Prof. Forbes and published in these columns do not include those which have been made by the Government of India under the authority of the Secretary of State in Council. When Prof. Forbes wrote, these were not sufficiently advanced to admit of description. Now that they are completed it is desirable that an account of them should be made public.
