Commission 13. (Solar Eclipses.)

Extract

At the request of the President, Prof. Sotome gave some information about the possibilities of observing in Japan and offered to give any additional details to all those who were interested. In the best central part there was about 40% probability of a clear sky.

No Russian astronomer being present, Prof. Carroll reported that scientific workers in Russia were anxious to give all possible cooperation; he intended to go himself to Russia this summer, in order to prepare an expedition to Siberia, and he was prepared to get all questions answered which any one should wish to put. Letters about this subject must reach him before the end of August.
