Observing weather was still a little below the average in quality thought the number of hours observing secured was about the average. 99 plates were secured on 14 nights with a total exposure time of 85.4 hours. The eleven-year average is 13 nights, 83.2 hours and 117 plates. The mirror requires resilvering; its poor condition probably lessened the output slightly.

Director J. S. Plaskett obtained 20 spectrograms on 3 nights. Made drawing for Volume IV, Number 10; worked over literature in preparation for and made drawings to illustrate a lecture on stellar motions. Commenced revision and final checking of velocities of B stars. Handled the usual correspondence and administrative work.
