Asks whether WS has photographs of the sun for 21 and 22 April. Notes how curious sunspot activity has been. Doubts that such is reconcilable with the notion of 'meteoric in-falls.'
Is returning March heliographs. Discusses the appearance of the spots. Has not received the April heliographs.
Wants to compare Mr. Titterton's photographs of the spot groups to [Warren] de La Rue's. Has tried to determine if some localities regularly have spots.
The research shows no particularly 'maculiferous' area on the sun, but WS may, as WS requested, present 'data' to the R.A.S. Has noticed two new spots on helioautographs on 20 and 27 April.
Sends diagrams showing three new couplets of sunspots. The sun is entering a new phase of activity. Sends drawings made with a glass pen by his son Alexander.
