Abstract
NEDULOSITIES NEAR THE PLEIADES.—For many years, says Prof. E. E. Barnard in the Astronomische Nachrichten, No. 3253, he has known of a vast and extensive nebulosity north of the Pleiades. This is not to be confounded with the nebulosities round the cluster revealed by photography during the last ten years, and all of which are included within the circle on the accompanying illustration. The wisps and patches of nebulous matter outside the circle are shown upon a photograph taken by Prof. Barnard with the Willard lens which he has rendered famous, the plate being exposed for ten hours, fifteen minutes.
