Scientific paper

THE older text-books indicate a transit of Mercury on May 11, 1937. Thus, Rev. S. J. Johnson, in ``Eclipses and Transits in Future Years'' (1889), p. 6, says: ``Mercury on the sun from 8 h. morn, to 9.2 h. approximately.'' On the other hand, Prof. S. Newcomb, in his paper on transits of Mercury in vol. 1 of Papers of the American Ephemeris, describes the event as a near approach. It does not appear, however, that this statement was the result of accurate computation; it was merely an inference from the large diagram of transits contained in the paper.
