| Each picture bears a label which gives the necessary information regarding it. Copies of many of these negatives can be purchased from the leading photographers of San Francisco and San Jose. Attention is particularly directed to photographs of the solar coronas of 1889, January; 1889, December; and 1893, April, by Messrs. Burnham, Schaeberle and Barnard; to photographs of the moon, in the focus of the large telescope, taken by various astronomers; to the very successful enlargements of these negatives, made by Baron Rothschild of Vienna, Professor Weinek, Director of the Observatory of Prague, Victor Nielsen of Copenhagen, and by Mr. Colton of the Lick Observatory. These enlargements are of various scales, from the moon's diameter equal to ten feet downward; to photographs of the milky way and comets, by Professor Barnard; to star maps in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres; to photographs of nebulae, and especially to pictures of the total solar eclipse of April, 1893, by Professor Schaeberle; to photographs of drawings of Mars and of comets, by Professor Hussey; to spectrum photographs and drawings by Professor Campbell; to photographs (enlarged) of Jupiter, taken with the large telescope; to photographs of the sun and sun spots, taken by Mr. Perrine, and to views of the Lick Observatory, its instruments and its surroundings, taken by all the astronomers. |

In conclusion, it should be stated that the present pamphlet has been prepared by direction of the Regents of the University. |
