Book Description
Excerpt from Transactions of the International Union, Vol. 1: For Co-Operation in Solar Research The delay in the appearance of this volume has been due to various causes, among which the time taken up by correspondence with authors living in different countries was the most serious. Although primarily intended to give areco-rd of the proceedings of the Oxford Conference, the volume includes also an account of the previous Conference held at St. Louis and of the preliminary transactions connected with the establishment of the Union. It is hoped that the complete record of the history of the organisation, which is here presented, may be of some value to those interested in Solar Physics. Among the papers printed, some have already appeared in other publications, but some are new, and attention may be specially drawn to Professor Fowler's communication of his observations of the spectra of sun-spots, which has not hitherto been printed. As this work bears directly on the systematic organisation of the records of sun-spot spectra, which has been undertaken by the Union, it has been thought desirable to print it in full.
