Has heard that he is now residing at Collingwood and sends two papers for his perusal. Is the sketch correct? Also encloses two specimen pages of his forthcoming catalogue.

Mr. Grant has just given him JH's note. Regarding Col. Parres's [?] helioscope.

Methods of taking photographs of the sun to a smaller scale, at Kew. This should be made the exclusive duty of one person.

Did not expect to see U. J. J. LeVerrier's prediction of an inferior planet verified so soon. Observations of E. M. Lescarbault meritorious. Is writing to Charles Tennant and W. R. Birt to join in the observations of the planet.

Capt. W. S. Jacob has supplied him with enclosed letter as a basis for the Committee to work on. Would like his opinion on the scheme. Hopes Poonah will be the base for new observations. Size and quality of the Kew solar photographs.

Is thinking of applying for the position of Observer at the Radcliffe Observatory and would like JH's support.

Agrees with what he proposes to express to the Radcliffe Trustees. Capt. W. S. Jacob has retired to this country from India and will also give him his support. Gives address of the secretary of the Radcliffe Trustees.

[Frederick] Howlett's additional drawings have been revised and placed with the first ones. Reminded editor they should be noticed. Perhaps JH would inform S. B. Howlett that the Society appreciates the drawings. Is about to examine C. J. G. Pastorff's manuscript.

Queries regarding C. J. G. Pastorff's observations. Believes author is now dead, but can he inform him concerning his mode of observation.

The Council of the R.A.S. will be pleased to receive any further drawings of S. B. Howlett, but will not undertake to publish them owing to the expense.

Answer to JH's query concerning the drawings of S. B. Howlett. Thanks for his information regarding C. J. G. Pastorff.

Regarding the sun's equation. Sun spots.

Sending a short paper which is to be printed, and would be glad with any comments. Currents indicated are deduced for a small number of cases only.

Thanks for his comments on the recent paper. Further points on the sun's equation. Will read his article on meteorology. Radcliffe Trustees have advertised the post again as there was only three applicants.

James Challis has proposed retiring from Cambridge Observatory. Would like JH's views on the matter of his chances of succeeding Challis.

James Challis has informed him that J. C. Adams is to be the new Observer at Cambridge. Does not see how he himself can ever obtain the post. Seems likely that he may give up the profession.

Has heard that JH has to decide if the illustrations to his own paper on sun spots are necessary. Thinks they are of vital importance.

Is grateful for JH's report on his paper. Regarding the plates for this paper.

Thanks for sending the paper in the Quarterly Journal. Comments on the importance of some of the points raised.

RC's book [Observations of the Spots on the Sun] is done. First copy, exhibited at R.A.S. last week, was well reported in R.A.S.M.N. Will send copy to JH.
