Abstract
DURING the year 1889 two total eclipses occurred, one on January 1, and the other on December 21. The present report refers to the former, and contains a detailed account of all the work that was undertaken by those who formed the party from the Washington University Observatory. Owing to the proximity of this Observatory to the path of totality, the chance of observing the eclipse was made the most of, but was only made possible, as Prof. Pritchett says, “by the kindness of Government officials and others in lending instruments, and by the liberality of friends of the University in subscribing money for the necessary expenses.”
