Abstract
1. In accordance with the general plan of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington for making magnetic and atmospheric‐electric observations to determine the nature and magnitude of the respective effects associated with solar eclipses, parties equipped for this purpose were sent by the Department to several points located in the belt of totality of the solar eclipse of May 29, 1919. One of these parties, in charge of Mr. D. M. Wise, proceeded to northeastern Brazil, where it was thought possible, from a consideration of the various factors entering into the matter, to find a suitable location. Fig. 1 shows the general relation of this region to the eclipse and especially to the belt of totality.LOCATION OF STATION AND LOCAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF ECLIPSE.
