This society was founded February 7, 1889, as a re- sult of the cordial co-operation of amateur and pro- fessional astronomers in successfully observing the total solar eclipse of the preceding New Year' Day. It seeks to continue that association both as a scien- tific and as a social force, The new society is de- signed to be popular in the best sense of the term. Any person who takes a genuine interest in astron- omy is invited to join its membership, whether he has made special studies in this direction or not. It is believed that every such person will get, and will feel that he gets, a full return from the society through its meetings or through its publications. Quite a number of ladies are members of the Society. Three meetings a year (March, November, January) are held in San Francisco at the rooms of the society (California Academy of Sciences Building, 819 Mar- ket street) and three meetings (May, July, Septem- ber) are held at Mount Hamilton, where an opportu- nity is afforded to the members to see and use the in- struments of the Lick Observatory. The society has a membership of more than four hundred.

The Publications are printed in octavo form at ir- regular intervals ; two hundred or more pages a year may be expected. The Publications contain papers read before the society (either in full or in abstract) many plates, etc., the minutes of the meetings, and also notices from the Lick Observatory, which are brief and popular accounts of the current work of that establishment prepared by members of the ob- servatory staff. Such notices have previously been printed in various astronomical journals, but in future they can be found in full only in the Publica- tions.

The Publications of the society are sent (in ex- change) to about one hundred observatories and academies of science. They can be obtained also by joining the society (dues, $5 for each calendar year, no initiation fee ; life membership, $50). A diploma is issued to members.
