Scientific paper

THROUGH the kindness of Dr. Deslandres, I followed Mercury here last spring and summer with the 33-inch refractor, and all recent observations confirm my 1927 results with the same instrument as to the correctness of the 88-day rotation period and as to the presence of whitish atmospheric veils of low albedo, which occasionally distort and conceal the subjacent dusky areas. The axis of rotation of Mercury cannot of course coincide exactly with the perpendicular to the orbital plane, although it cannot form a considerable angle with it.
