Only the surface of the subject of Korean Astronomy has been touched in this paper and a mere glimpse has been caught of the wealth of material. We have enjoyed skimming the surface ; but we did not intend to delve so deep that we would lose sight of our main purpose in visiting Korea after an absence of eighteen years. Our chief pleasure has been the fellowship of friends old and new among the foreigners, Koreans and Japanese in this land where we spent ten happy years of the prime of life. We leave with new memories to add to our store, as we turn toward the silent future with the thought that we may not pass this way again. Table I.
