IT is always interesting to compare the results of observation with those predicted by calculation. In the case of the recent total eclipse of the sun this is rendered difficult by the want of agreement in the predictions of the two most used authorities, the Nautical Almanac and the Connaissance des Temps. The discrepancies in the predicted duration of totality and of the breadth of the band traced on the earth's surface by the total phase are made apparent in the following table. It is compiled from the table in the Nautical Almanac headed ``Limits of total phase of the Solar Eclipse,'' and the corresponding table in, the Connaissance des Temps entitled ``Limites de l'Éclipse totale et Durée de la Phase totale sur la Ligne centrale.'' Entries for as nearly as possible the same time in each table have been taken and are placed together:-
