Abstract
A JOINT meeting of the Royal Society and Royal Astronomical Society was held at Burlington House, London, on Thursday, November n, to discuss the results obtained by the British eclipse expedition to Sumatra in January of this year. The Astronomer Royal opened the discussion with an account of the coronal pictures obtained by various eclipse expeditions in the past sent out from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. In addition to the well-known changes of form with the solar cycle, he pointed out the close connexion of certain prominences with arches in the corona, and also certain changes detected as taking place during an eclipse, as seen from a comparison of plates taken at widely distant stations.
