A region three degrees square, surrounding each variable, has been three times enlarged, giving a map on the standard scale of one minute of arc to the millimetre. On these enlargements the designations of the stars in sequence have been marked. Copies will be furnished to observers at cost, or free of expense to persons of experience who are ready to co-operate in the work. Complete...

The class games will be played in April and about April 25 the first University game will take place...
