| Summary: | The author first states the circumstances under which Sir George Baden-Powell, K. C. M. G., M. P., with great public spirit conveyed an eclipse party to Novaya Zemlya in his yacht “Otaria,” to which party was attached Mr. Shackleton, one of the computers employed by the Solar Physics Committee. The prismatic camera employed, loaned from the Solar Physics Observatory, was carefully adjusted before leaving England, and a programme of exposures was drawn up based upon the experience of 1893. As the station occupied lay at some distance from the central line, this program me was reduced by Mr. Shackleton. |
