-Ilohse has investigated what would
be the effect and appearance Of a spher-
icaI gaseous mass, as seen by an OBJ
server passing over the solar disk, and
has sought to apply his results to the
possible effect of the atmosphere OF
Venus on the phenomena Of the Nenus
transit. In conclusion, he states, with
reference to the so called black-drop
phenomenon, that If the atmosphere of
Venus has a density SO great that 1t
uni es the solar rays in one point lying
between Venus and the earth, it must
then have the same effect as an obaque
body; that is to say, the solar limb will
by this atmosphere be broken or in
dented before the body of Venus itself
touches it and, conversely, the solar
limb will not regain its integrity at the
close of the inner contact until the at
mospherie layer is entirely within the
solar disk. It is possible that at the
inner contact the effect of the atmos-
phere of Venus contributed considera-
bly, to the appearance of the so-caned
back drop.
