eight months. It is expected that students will choose their time of residence at the Lick Observatory in the period from June to November. QUARTERS FOR STUDENTS. Comfortable quarters (unfurnished) are allotted to all students at the Observatory. A kitchen and dining-room (partly furnished) are also provided for the common use of students who must make their own arrangements for board and service. The cost per month to each student need not exceed $30. No fees of any sort, for instruction, are required from students in the University. All injuries to instruments or 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. Each student should bring with him the furniture of his bed, etc., and should also provide himself with the textbooks which are constantly wanted, as Young's General Astronomy, Campbell's Practical Astronomy, Bruennow's Lehrbuch der Sphaerischen Astronomie or Chauvenet's Spherical and Practical Astronomy, Oppolzer's Bahnbestimmung or Watson's Theoretical Astronomy, Hussey's Logarithmic Tables (or any other good five-place tables), Crelle's Rechentafeln, etc. Intending students will do well to communicate with the Director of the Observatory before filing their formal applications for admission with the Recorder. The Post Office address is Mt. Hamilton, Santa Clara County, California. ADMISSION OF VISITORS TO THE OBSERVATORY, The Observatory buildings will be open to visitors during office hours every day in the year. For the present visitors will be admitted to look through the great telescope every Saturday night between the hours of 7 and 10, and at that time only. Whenever the work of the Observatory will admit of it, other telescopes will also be put at the disposition of visitors on Saturdays, between the same hours. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific holds its summer meetings in the library of the Lick Observatory. Students of the University of California who visit Mt. Hamilton are requested to make themselves known, in order that they may be given admission to all parts of the Observatory. EXTENSION COURSES. With a view to the extension of the advantages of the University to teachers and other persons whose engagements will not permit residence at the University, courses of instruction are offered from time to time in San Francisco and in other places. Persons who offer to do systematic work in the Extension Courses, and to take examinations in them, are enrolled as Attendants upon Extension Courses. Attendants who pass satisfactory examinations, are entitled to receive from the University Certificates of Record of the work done, which may be accredited to them, upon their scholarship records, if they subsequently become students of the University.
