Mrs. Fleming says this reversion is due to a change of the prism. chi 5101 gamma Circini. Star on edge of plate shows zeta Puppis lines between H gamma & H delta, H delta & H epsilon. The spectrum is cut off at H gamma. This star does not appear on chi 4883 and chi 6401, image too poor on chi 4768, image not on chi 5622. These are all the plates given in ledger of gamma Circini.
