Scientific paper

ON the morning of June 29, 1927, there will be the next solar-eclipse in England in which anything in the shape of totality can be seen. In an examination of eclipses I made two or three years ago, I considered this one would be total for a brief period in the north of England, as mentioned in NATURE, vol. xii. p. 213. But the curious point worthy of notice is the following :- As the moon's disc only just overlaps that of the sun, Ave may expect to see the red flames visible, not as prominences, but as a line of red light encircling the sun for-a few moments. The probable appearance of such a phenomenon in a slightly total eclipse of the sun was pointed out by Prof. Grant in a paper in the December Notices of the R.A.S., 1871 (q.v.) The eclipse of June 29, 1927, seems to afford such an opportunity as the Professor wished to find out. Although this eclipse, therefore, is but an apology for a total one, it may acquire an interest of its own for posterity. See my little work, ``Eclipses Past and Future'' (Parkers) on this subject.
