In 1890, the Astronomer Royal called the attention of the Royal Astronomical Society to the occultations of ^ Tauri (3. 0 magn. ) that presented matter of "interest" to observers and astronomers. On September 16, 1889, ^''' Turner, of the Greenwich Observatory, observed the occul- tation of the same star by the bright limb of the Moon with 76 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. [Proc. 3D Ser. the Lassell Reflector of thirty-four inches, and Mr. Lewis with a refractor of three and three-fourths inch...es. Mr. Turner noted : "No projection ; disappeared instantaneously at bright limb. " Mr. Lewis noted that " the star touched the limb of the Moon five seconds before the observation, and was sHghtly inside the Hmb. " It appeared " as a brilliant spot in the Moon, and disappeared suddenly at the time given above. " In the same number of the " Observatory " where this report is made Mr. Ranyard says that " in the case of Jupiter there are instances * * * where one or two stars have apparently been seen through the limb of the planet.
