work, and of the courses of instruction available at Berkeley, after consultation with the heads of the related departments of the University. In all other cases the term of residence at Mount Hamilton and at Berkeley is determined by the proper committee for each individual candidate.

QUARTERS FOR THE STUDENTS

Comfortable quarters (partly furnished) are allotted to students at the Observatory. Students make their own arrangements for board and service. The cost per month for each student need not exceed $30. Each student should bring with him the linen for his room, blankets, etc., and should also provide himself with the text-books which are constantly needed: Young's General Astronomy, Campbell's Practical Astronomy, Bruennow's Lehrbuch der Sphaerischen Astronomie, or Chauvenet's Spherical and Practical Astronomy, Watson's Theoretical Astronomy, Oppolzer's Bahnbestimmung, Klinkerfues'-Buchholz's Theoretische Astronomie, or Bauschinger's Bahnbestimmung; standard six-, five-, and four-place tables; Crelle's Rechentafeln; etc. All injuries to apparatus must be made good at the student's expense, and students are expected to provide the larger part of the chemicals used in their practice of photography.

Intending students will do well to communicate with the Director of the Observatory before filing their formal applications for admission with the Recorder of the Faculties. The post-office address is Mount Hamilton, Santa Clara County, California.

ADMISSION OF VISITORS TO THE OBSERVATORY

The Observatory buildings are open to visitors during office hours every day of the year. For the present visitors who arrive at the Observatory on Saturday nights before nine o'clock will be admitted to look through the great telescope. Whenever the work of the Observatory will admit of it, other telescopes also will be placed at the disposition of visitors on Saturday nights. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific holds its summer meeting in the library of the Lick Observatory.

Students of the University of California who visit Mount Hamilton are requested to make themselves known, in order that the work of the Observatory may be fully explained to them.
