Scientific paper

I STARTED on July 30 in the King Harold, and arrived at Vadsö on August 6. On board this vessel, amongst others, were Prof. Rambaut and Dr. Hugh R. Mill, of the Geographical Society, who I see has sent a note which appears in NATURE of August 27, as to some observations of temperature he took during the eclipse. I was constantly with Prof. Rambaut on the island at Vadsö, and he particularly requested me to observe the temperatures of sun, and shade thermometers during the eclipse at the position he had taken for his observations, which were specially directed to the degree of polarisation of different parts of the corona. I enclose a diagram of my observations, which Prof. Rambaut has suggested I should send to NATURE, should you think they are worth recording. The fall of the sun thermometer (which unfortunately was fully shaded by cloud) was, from 4h. 10m. to just after totality, 2°, and its recovery from that point to 5h. 56m., last contact, was 3°.6. The shade thermometer showed greater variations, viz. a fall of 3°.35, and subsequent rise at 5h. 50m. of 5°.6.
