Scientific paper

IN visiting Spain at the end of August of this year I was actuated by the desire once again, after an interval of twenty-three years, to witness the marvellous and unique phenomenon of a total solar eclipse. It is a sight which cannot be imagined-it must be seen. Happening at a time of maximum sun-spot frequency, it was reasonable to expect a considerable display of protuberances, and I wished to form my own idea of their size by checking their persistence or non-persistence through the phase of mid-totality on a day which otherwise may be taken to have been chosen at random. For this purpose a station on, or very close to, the line of central eclipse was essential. Torreblanca was chosen because it was the station of the Barcelona and Valencia railway which was nearest to the line of central eclipse, lying, in fact, about a mile to the south-west of it.
