Abstract
THE object of this paper is to compare the various methods of determining the solar parallax, and to show that the photogl'aphic method employed by the United Stutes Transit of Venus Parties in 1874 is among the most accurate known, and should not be neglected in observing the transit of 1882.The following notation will be employed in algebraic formulre:a =mean distance of the earth fl'om the sun.ft, =that distance between the earth and the sun which would satisfy Kepler's third law.Ct. =mean distance of the earth from the moon.c =a constant such that cp=p,.E =the mass of the earth.e =eccentricity of the nioon's orbit.e, =eccentricity of the earth's orbit.
