...departments of the East Equatorial and the Meridian Circle 14,000 photometric observations have been made, an increase of 1,000 over the number of the previous year. Many stars, whose variability is doubtful, have been observed by means of two photometers, whose accuracy of measurement permits even slight changes to be detected with certainty. The reduction of the observations of the stars in the Zone is nearly completed. The instrument used for this work should be remounted in a separate building...
...work laid out for the 2-inch and 4-inch meridian photometers has been completed, the observations exceeding a million in number. With the 12-inch instrument 60,208 settings were made, raising the total during the last 10 years to over...
...fixed axis, including the steel cylinder, points to the celestial poles; the motion mounted on its upper end is from east to west over the meridian line, and from north to south across the celestial equator.

...observations in the departments of the East Equatorial and the Meridian Circle have been carried on with the usual carefulness and perseverance, thirteen thousand photometric comparisons having been made in the first department.

With the telescopes at the observatory, chiefly the 8-inch and 11-inch Draper, about 3200 photographs of the stars have been taken this year, and thirty-five stars and nine meteor trails have been found...
