Scientific paper

THE reference in NATURE of April 9, p. 636, to the interesting announcement by Shapley of the discovery of another extra-galactic stellar system similar to the two Magellanic Clouds, at probably double their distance, affords another example of the absolute excess of these near systems in the south galactic hemisphere, within a radius of 106 light years. Although the position of the centre of the star cluster is not given, it is stated that it lies in the constellation of Sculptor. It must, therefore, lie not far from the south galactic pole, which is included in this constellation, and in the vicinity of the two spiral systems N.G.C. 55 and 300, both of which are of large angular diameter and therefore among the nearer systems to our Galaxy.
