This expedition was one of those organised by the Joint Permanent Eclipse Committee of the Royal Society and Royal Astronomical Society, funds being provided from a grant made by the Government Grant Committee. It was originally contemplated that the party should consist of Professor H. H. Turner and myself, and that we should occupy a station inland in Sumatra; but when the former found himself unable join in the expedition, it was decided not to appoint another observer in his stead, nor to fix upon the station to be occupied until there was an opportunity of learning about local conditions, on the spot.
