ASTRONOMICAL WORKS.
Reports OF the Late Solar and Luna
Eclipses and Other Matters

Reports OF the Late Solar and Lunar
Eclipses, and Other Matters.
The Lick Observatory, by authority of the
Regents of the University Of California,
has published in book form the reports on
the observations of the total eclipse of the
sun, December 21-22, 1889, and of the total
eclipse Of the moon July %, 1888. To this is
added complete catalogue of the library.
The book is illustrated by means of eleven
plates. some of which are actual photo
graphs, and some are reprodu tions by
means OF the photogravure process. AS the
text is purely scientific, no idea of its value
as work of reference could be given in any
notice, no matter how extended, so that it is
sufficient to say that any one interested in
astronomical studies will find the hook one
of great value. No. 16 of Volume Ill of the
publications CT the Astronomical Society,
for June IS. 1891, is also ready for delivery,
and the same remarks will apply equally to
it as to the aforementioned work.
