Photographs of the Eclipse

An Erratum to this article was published on 16 March 1871

Abstract

PERMIT me to call your attention to the position of the woodcut illustrating my remarks on the Eclipse Photographs. The south point is where the north should be. As what I have now to say refers to the picture I shall feel obliged if you will permit its reinsertion in its true position.* With reference to the power of the light of the Corona, I used the word actinic, not active as printed.
