Look up other plates. Dec. 9, 1897. These are color lines. Box 6001-7800 B stars Plate chi 6471 mu Crucis Star marked (2) has zeta Puppis lines and resembles 20 Can.

Mrs. Fleming measured the H lines of both components and the apparent Orion lines of the brighter component. I drew a curve with wave length of H lines as abscissa, and measures as coordinates.
