Astronomy at the British Association

Abstract

ASTRONOMY this year constituted a distinct department of Section A, with its own chairman and secretaries, and a separate room was provided for the reading of papers on this subject. The new departure was sufficiently justified by the attendance at the meetings, and in future years, when the formation of the Department of Astronomy becomes more widely known, increased success may be confidently expected. The department met on Friday, September 7, and Tuesday, September 11, and altogether sixteen papers were read.
