Abstract
SOME of the remarkable spectroheliograms which you reproduce in connection with your report of M. Deslandres' lecture, delivered by that gentleman at the Royal Institution on June 12, 1910, call for special comment. This applies more especially to the pair which represents the sun for March 21, 1910. I had the good fortune to observe spectronscopically an exceptionally fine prominence, which persisted for two entire synodic rotations. During some of the early days in March it graced the west limb, then reappeared in the east about a fortnight later, showed again in the west, reappeared in the east once more towards the middle of April, and gave a final appearance in somewhat modified form on the west limb on April 28. It is fully described and illustrated in an interesting note by Dr. F. Slocum in the Astrophysical Journal for September, 1910.
