| Description | Hills writes: 'The parties in Brazil and Africa were both supplied with these instruments, two being sent to each station. The instruments were arranged to take one photograph only during the eclipse with an exposure as long as possible. It was considered that the amount of light available would not allow of more than one successful exposure being made.' Includes tables of observations.
