Asks TM to measure the position of some stars that are difficult for JH to observe.
Actinometer observations during the eclipse.
Hopes that TM can explain the errors in JH's star reductions. Saw Halley's Comet last night; comments that 'its tail was again fine and head very bright.'
In some places, Halley's Comet will be seen in or near its perihelion during the solar eclipse.
Intended to call on Sunday but wind and other interruptions interfered. Saw the Comet, probably for the last time on Thursday. Sends the working sheet of the R.A.'s of the Brisbane catalogue. Comments on various aspects of this catalogue. Has written to Commercial Advertiser requesting information from anyone who experienced the recent earthquake shock.
