Mr. Crommelin, who was armed with a refractor of 3 inches aperture, selected the same general region as Miss Leake, and paid special attention to the neighbourhood of the prominence at 236, that is to say, the large double one shown in Miss Leake's picture. Besides his drawing, Mr. Crommelin supplies the following notes: --"As soon as the "Ten Seconds' signal was given I removed the cardboard screen, placed myself at the eyepiece of the telescope, and slightly changed the focus.sothat I was ready to commence observing when Mr. Maunder gave the signal 'Go.' I directed my attention to the largest prominence (position angle about 236) which was seen at once to be a magnificent double one, the left hand member being straight, while the right hand one was bent sharply to the left. The coronal light was of course pretty bright near the moon's limb, and for some seconds I could not make out any detailed...
