Agreeable to arrangement, the party as sembled at the Observatory at 4 o'clock, • Mr Smith arriving a little later. Professor • Prltchett (Assistant Astronomer) immedia tely bifflu, and satisfactorily completed,his inciisuremonts and adjustments, and at 5 o'clock the vatious members of the party took their stations, Professor Pritchett and Messrs. Storey and Theilkuhl (the photo graphers) retiring within the photographic House, Mr Joan Gamble, son of the Ameri can Consul (who has been assisting ever since Mr Smith's illness) manag ing the heliostat or reflecor, placed npoa the iron pier, Mr Dennison (a local employ 6) attending to the chronograph in the blockhouse (keep ing it supplied with ink, etc.), and Mr Edwin Smith superintending the whole operations within the enclosure, The ODly otter persons allowed within the enclosure were Mr J. T. Stevenson (Fellow of the Selenogr'apbical Society), who made observations throngh an equatorial tele scope ; Mr Gamble ( A merican Consul), Mr J. P, Barber, and Mr James Coates, but some fifty or sixty penoas congregated out side and watched the proceedings with evident interest. In the photo graphic house Mr Storey (Chtef photographer) busied him?elf in placiug the plates in position and removing Jchern,while Professor Pritchett exposed them and noted the times by means of too wire attached te the automatic chronograph, Mr Theil kuhl's duty consisting in '' developing " the plates after they had been re moved. The sky was [perfectly clear when photo graphic operations wero commenced, and seventy-four pictures were taken before they had to be suspended. This occurred at the period of internal con tact, and the clouds obscuring the sun were fo thin, that by removing tho shades from their equatorial telescopes, Mr Smith, and Professor Pritchott were' also able to watch tho remainder ot the transit up till the moment of tho planet's final egress. Had the sky con tinued clea-» fully 150 photographs would have been taken, bat, as it is, the 74 which havt been obtained are regarded as a very satisfactory rcault. So far as tho plates / have developed, they give promise of voty ! successful pictures. In fact Professor Pritchett declares that he has never seen i better ohcs. The members of the party are highly pleased with the work they have been able to do, and they consider the ob servations to bo far more valuable than those of 18.74. J luture Movements. The two photographers return to Ameiica by the next mail steamer, cariyiug with them the photographs and records, dupli cates ot wnich.will follow by the ensmog steamer, so tbat incase of accident to one vessel the data may not be lost. The computations f6r the deter mination of the Sun's parallax -will only be commenced at Washington, when all the returns have come to hand. Mr Smith and Professor Prichctt havebeenmaking experi ments for tome time past with the pendulum in order to ascertain the precise figure of the jfarth by finding out its radius at various points. The instruments have been lent for the purpose by the Koyal Astronomical Sooiety of England, and the expiriments •with them will be continued at Sydney, Singapore, Idongkopg. andTokio. Incoose-! qnence fif Mr SmiiS's illness the labour so far has mainly fallen upon Professor Pritchett's shoulders. . Both gentlemen leave on the 26th for Sydney, and at tho Observatory there they will finally determine the longitude of New Zealand before proceeding on to Singapore. They received a telegraphic message irom Colonel Tupman this morning, inf urmlng them that his transit obstrvationsatChristchurehhad teen very successful.

Professor Lambert's Observations

OUR painstaking local astronomer, Profes sor Lambert, F.K.A.8., who has tor some time past been making preparations for the observation of the phenomenon, chose as the lite of his observatory au elevated por tion oE the estate ot Mr Stuart, juor., on the New North Eoad. Mr Stnart, vrho is himself an enthusiast in the science of astronomy, rendered Mr Lambert valu able assistance in the preparatory ar rangements, and also in the observation of '.the transit. The observers were fur nished with twos excellent telescopes—one with a diameter of three inches, and the other of two inches and a half in diameter. Mr Stuart, besides obsetving, had the charge of the photographic apparatus, a camera by Dallymier being used. Mr Lambert informs as thai wejfc plates were used, in accordance with the recommenda tion of the Royal Astronomical Society. Those observers of the transit in 1874, who likewise took selar photographs during the transit, used dry plates, but found subsequently that owing to tho thriukage of the film but little dependence could be placed on them. Indeed, British observers generally do not place much re liance on the •acctuacy of the results to be attained by photography in connection with the transit, and in tbe observations made to-day they in tended depending principally on observa tions of the contact of tne planet with tbe inner limb ot the sun. Professor Lambert informs us that, when the snn rose, Venus was to be plainly seen on the solar disc with out the aid of either telescope or smoked glas*. ' It was subsequently somewhat cloudy, but a satisfactory observation of the internal contact at egress was made, and a series of photographs were taken. A con siderable delay took place in the latter pro cess owing to an accumulation «f hazy clouds, but jost before the most important contact, Mr Stuart was successful in taking several pictures. The phenomenon, known technically as "the black drop" tvas seen by neither of the observers. Thii is some what strange, as in the ea'lier observation of these transits it was distinctly seen in one ioim or another. It was scarcely noticed at all during the transit of 1874, and by some astronomers it is regarded as an optical illusion. According to records of previous transits," the phenomenon was umally observed just after Venus bad made what appeared to be a full entrance on the solar disc.

Professor Lambert states that the planet appeared to come sbarply up to the limb, and the moment when the last thread of light dividing the limbs was noticed by both himself aad Mr S'uart to vanish, that was the moment noted as the internal,, contact at eg-ess. A coronal ray'of iight unrounded the planet, which was not so distinctly seen ■with a clear as with a. partially clouded bud, tut with the latter it was decided. No trace of a satellite or anything following or precediog Venus was observed during the transit. After the internal contac', Mr Stuart returned to his photography, and secured one or two other pictures. By this time the planet was off the eun and the transit was over.

A number of private obserrers watched the tramit, amocg ihem a parly formed by Dr. J. Murray Moore, who employed a three-inch telescope by Solomonc, of Lon dm.

Colonel Tupman Reports a Great Success.

{fpECJAL to Star),

The EDglish expedition, which had estab lished their observatory at Burnham, Christ churcb, consisted of Colonel '«upman and Lieutenant Cooke. Colonel Tupman has Madly cent us the following special report of his obseivations. BURNHAM, this day.

The weather was very favourable. A light cloud slightly interfered with tbe oo servation of the internal contact, but not to any serious extent. The observations were as good as I expected to make, and I con sider them a great success. The phenomena were precisely those I'expected, from ex perience gained in 1874. We have had one successful exchange of time signals with Sydney, and will repeat on Saturday and Sunday, when it is hoped that tho longitude of New Zealand will be most satisfactorily determined. Mrs Cooke called tbe time tor Lieutenant Cooke, and my wife for me. We were assisted by Mr Geil, of Wellington, and Messrs'Whita and Hamilton, of Chriat ehurch. We were lucky, for it is now (11 o'clock) hopelessly overcast.

Although at times clouds passed over the sun during the transit, nt the time of inter nal contact at egress the sun was clear, and an excellent obseivation was taken here, but the external egress was not seen.
