Scientific paper

IT may be interesting to your readers to supplement the description given in NATURE, vol. xxxii. p. 631, with the following notes which I have just received from a friend who observed the eclipse at Nelson, N.Z.: ``As the period of totality passed away, a bright point of light as from a diamond of wonderful brilliance shot forth from the upper surface of the moon, and at first this seemed to be only a flame, but it speedily extended to the moon's shadow, passed downwards and to the right, and totality was over.'' Another feature was the fall in the temperature: ``A thermometer which registered 50° at seven o'clock, stood at 30° immediately after totality; the keen breeze which was blowing before the sun was shadowed died completely away at the time of totality.'' I inclose a photograph which clearly shows the protuberances noticed by all the observers.
