Resumo

The Lecturer gave an account of the more interesting phenomena of the eclipse, and of the methods employed in observing and recording them; the details of his observations being given in an elaborate Paper bearing the above title. The Lecture was illustrated by a great number of diagrams and models. The photographic images of the eclipse were projected on a screen by means of the electric lamp, and some of the more striking phenomena were imitated by apparatus contrived for that purpose.
