Séance du vendredi 5 octobre, matin.: Président de Séance : J. M. Ramberg.: L'organisation des campagnes de prospection

Extract

Ramberg. — According to the agenda, the discussions this morning are to be concentrated on field surveys. We are very sorry that our Russian colleagues from the Pulkovo Observatory, Drs. Melnikov and Kutcherov, have not arrived; I am sure that all of us would have been extremely interested in hearing about their experiences. We are glad, however, that other astronomers with great experience of field surveys and seeing expeditions will be able to tell us about site testing in Southern Africa, Chile and Australia.
