Thanks for paper on magnetism, and other minor matters.
JH requests that J. H. N. Hennessey be allowed to attend meeting of R.S.L. that evening.
Reports on and recommends publication of paper [R.S.P.T., 159, 1-] by Warren de La Rue, Balfour Stewart, and Benjamin Loewy containing heliographic positions and areas of sunspots observed in 1862 and 1863.
Reports on paper [R.S.P.T., 156, 181-] by [William] Huggins on spectra of certain nebulae with mode of determining their brightness. Doubts some presuppositions, but regards paper as fit for publication in R.S.P.T.
