DescriptionIn response to continuing correspodence, informs that the question of a joint meeting of the Royal and Royal Astronomical Societies, to receive reports on the recent Eclipse of the Sun, has been brought to the notice of the Joint Permanent Eclipse Committee and the Council of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Infroms that the Astronomer Royal and Professor Newall have agreed to defer the reports on the Greenwich and Cambridge Expeditions and would be willing to present them at the joint meeting.
