Mr. G. M. Clemence, Director of the Nautical Almanac Office, has called attention to an error of statement on page 32 of the January, 1946, issue of POPULAR ASTRONOMY relative to the Eclipse of June 29. In the words of Mr. Clemence, the correct statement concerning this eclipse would be, 'According to the data given in the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac for 1946, page 325, the maximum phase of this eclipse occurs in Greenland, Lat. +500 49', Long. +66 ° 36', and not near Archangel, Russia, where it is not visible. This eclipse begins in the North Sea and ends a few degrees east of Great Slave Lake in Canada. It is a partial eclipse of the midnight sun.
