Abstract
IT has been known for some little time that Dr. John Russell Hind, F.R.S., who for many years past has been responsible for the production of the national ephemeris, would soon seek that retirement to which his long services and his distinguished career entitle him. At the end of the year, he will relinquish the office of Superintendent of the “Nautical Alamanac,”and the good wishes and kindly sympathy of the astronomers of many nations will follow him in the retirement he is seeking.
