Abstract

THE importance attached to the solar observations of Mr. W. A. Holland by so great an authority as Sir W. Thomson, would alone suffice to warrant me in forwarding for your publication exact drawings of the spots observed on November 22 and 23 of last year, and the wording of the letters of Mr. Holland makes it still more urgent to determine the precise extent of the spots in question.
