Résumé :
Excerpt from The Total Solar Eclipse 1905: Reports of Observations Made by Members of the British Astronomical Association of the Total Solar Eclipse of 1905, August 30 On the return of the expeditions the various reports were handed over to Mr. Thwaites, who kindly undertook to edit them. But the climate of Spain had a disastrous effect on his constitution, and after some months of ill health he was obliged to give up all idea of. Accomplishing the work. Under these circumstances the present collection of reports has been under taken by the Editor of the Association, who, unfortunately, had not the advantage of observing the eclipse. Some of the reports have been given in full,, others only in abstract, while others, again, have been utilised in a less degree. The use of the Index will obviate any inconvenience that might be thus caused. Had it been possible, the Council would gladly have published all the reports in full. They trust the various observers whose reports are not printed will accept the plea of exigencies of space as an excuse for their non-appearance.
