As a subsidiary test, the resistances of the two halves of the pile weremeasured, and found to be 4*56 and 4*62 ohms respectively. Exact equalityof resistance was not essential, but the result is satisfactory as showing howaccurately the mechanician, Mr. W. J. Colebrook, of the Koyal College ofScience, had succeeded in executing the design. As a result of this accuracy of compensation, the zero of the galvanometerremained extremely steady even under the most trying conditions, with the Fig. 1.—Coronal Thermopile. To Galvr, .

At night, andduring totality, when the disturbing influence of the solar radiations wasabsent, it is hardly necessary to say that no trouble was experienced. Methods of Observation.
