Scientific paper

IN the summary in regard to solar activity in 1886, published in NATURE for March 10, p. 445, it is stated that, during the period from October 31 to December 12, ``on six days only out of the forty-two could there be discovered on the sun any trace even of a spot, and on those days only one tiny spot could be seen.'' As observed in this locality, there were formed, in the midst of the faculæ which came into view on November 14, one spot on November 15 and two spots on November 16; all having disappeared on November 18, when observation again became possible. On December 8 the first of a group of spots which made a complete transit across the sun's surface appeared. On December 9 this group consisted of three spots, which persisted until the 13th at least, gradually increasing in size. A period of sunspot minimum is best adapted in certain regards to the study of the relations of solar outbursts to magnetic and auroral phenomena; hence precision at such times, in reference to details of the character here indicated, is not unimportant.
