APRIL. 1872. of ECLIPSE EXPEDITION. We are glad to call attention to a letter from a much valued correspondent, upon the extraordinary and discreditable absence any information whatever, concerning the results of the Eclipse Expedition, from the last meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society. We quite agree with our friend, that whatever was the reason that induced those Fellows of the Society who took a part in the expedition to withhold the information from that body to which they belong, and which specially devotes all its resources to these subjects; which, moreover, is at its own cost going to publish the results of several eclipse expeditions; such conduct on their part is alike a reproach to themselves as it is a slight to the Royal Astronomical Society. ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY. Session 1871-72. Fifth Meeting, March 8th, 1872. Professor Arthur Cayley, F.R.S., President, in the Chair. Secretaries-E. Dunkin, Esq., and R. A. Proctor, Esq. The minutes of the last ordinary meeting were read and confirmed. Seventy-three presents were announced and the thanks of the Society voted to the respective donors. G. W. Roberts, Esq., Rev. S. J. Johnson, and A. Hertage, Esq., were balloted for, and duly elected Fellows of the Society. VOL. X. |
