NAGASAKI, December 9.
During our observations of the transit

ally cloudy and unpromising. The tim"
at which It was calculated that the transit
would begin, passed away without our
being enabled to record the exact move
mcnt of the first contact with II trust
worthy result After about II quarter of
IN hour, and before Venus reached the
stage of her second contact, the observer
at the equatorial, caught glimpse Of the
sun and planet, and was quite successful
in t"king several mcasurcmcnts
of the planet cusp,. During tfe inter
val between the first and second contacts,
the time M which the latter contact or-
CURED, was obtained with suCcrs- and
recorded. Shortly after the second con-
tact further measurements Of the distance
between Venus and the Sum western
edge were made with the micromcter.
