Extract

In June of last year I had the honour of reading before this Society a preliminary account of the Scottish expedition for the observation of the Total Solar Eclipse of May 28th, 1900, at Santa Pola, on the south-east coast of Spain (long. 0° 30′ W., lat. 38° 13′ N.). I have now to lay before the Society the results of the part of the expedition specially assigned to me, which was to obtain photographs of the Corona. I succeeded in securing four, that being the largest number I considered it advisable to attempt in the very short total phase of eclipse, only 75 seconds being available for the exposures and necessai'y manipulation of the camera backs.
