Oct. 12, 1897.

X 3862 1 [[superscript]] 3 [[/superscript]] Sirius
Hyd. series seen clearly as far as H omicron, and dimly as far as H rho.
K line almost burned out by over-exposure.

X 3968 1 [[superscript]] 5 [[/superscript]] Sirius
Cover marked, "K line double?" It looks double, but is probably due to focus.

X 3872 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] alpha Argus.
K = H = 2 H delta
Very wide spectrum.

[[margin]] A.G.C. 8133 [[/margin]]
X 5460 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] A Carinae
K is very faint, certainly not as strong as in Sirius. focus poor.
4026.4 not seen.
4481.4 = (2) 4471.8
No other lines seen except the hydrogen. The spectrum is probably like Sirius.

[[margin]] A.G.C. 8034 [[/margin]] Like zeta Tucanae.

[[margin]] " " [[ditto A.G.C.]] 8085 [[/margin]]
A second type star, but the image is too faint to classify. Like alpha Bootis?

[[margin]] A.G.C. 10678 [[/margin]]
X 7407 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] D Carinae
The line between 4144.0 and 4120.5 which is double in tau [[subscript]] 9 [[/subscript]] Erid. is here faintly seen.
I have not observed this line in a typical B2A or B3A star. In other respects this spectrum resembles a B3A star.

[[margin]] " " [[ditto for A.G.C.]] 1077 [[strikethrough]] 1 [[/strikethrough]] 9 [[/margin]]
Too faint & partly off the plate.
