Reports of Profs. Davidson and EIarknes 81
New YORK, Dec. 1O-Professor Davidson of
the American observatory, sends the following
Nagasaki, Dec: 9.-During our observations
of the transit of Venus to-day the weather was
unusually cloudy and unpromising. The time
at which we calculated the transit would begin
passed away without our being enabled to re-
cord the exact moment OF the first contact At
ter about quarter of an hour, and before We
nus reached her second contact the observers
at the equatorial caught glimpse of the sun
and the planet and were quite successful in
taking several measurements of the planets
cusps during the interval between the first and
second contact. The time at which the latter
contact occurred was obtained with success
and recorded. Shortly after the second contact
further measurements of the distance between
Venus and suns western edge were made with
the micrometer. In all, there were taken 100
micrometric measurements OF the line between
the cusps. Besides theses31 micrometic revOlu-
tions were made OF the passage OF both edges
of the sun across the meridaa of the station,
and similar views Of the right and left rims of
Venus in crossing the same time. Eighteen
mirometric surveys were made OF the respe Give
destinations of the sun and planet, observing
both the upper and lower limbs while passing
the meridian. About sixty excellent photo
graphs of tie transit during various periods of
its occurrence were taken. Extreme good for
tune attended the astronomers, for Just as Ve-
nus departed from the sun the clouds began to
gather and threatened rain.
Towards the close of November we were ena-
bled to telegraph the difference of longitude
to Vladinstok, so that the location of the posi-
ton here is definitely determined.

was bad, our observations at the time of the
transit were partially successful. We sue
ceeded in taking 113 photographs of Venus
dnring her passage over the disc of the sun.
LONDON, Dec. 1O.-Telegrams in regard to
the transit of Venus report that the observa-
tions failed in Onisk, Orenburg, Kasau, Uru-
lex, Astrachan Kertch and Tiflis, but were en-
tirely successful at Yokohama.
