The director of the Lick Observatory has received a telegram which announces that the Hon. Edwin Crossley, lately Member of Parliament for Halifax, England, proposes to present to the Lick Observatory his great three foot reflecting telescope, with its dome and all its apparatus complete. Mr. Crossley, himself an enthusiastic amateur astronomer, makes no conditions to his gift, except that his telescope when set up at Mt. Hamilton shall be called the Crossley Reflector and that the expenses of transporting the instrument and dome from England to California shall be borne by Americans.
The climate of England is not favorable for the best work of the reflector and Mt. Hamilton has been selected for its great advantages in this respect.
The addition of this instrument to the equipment of Lick Observatory will be of inestimable value and the authorities of the University of California will raise the necessary funds for transportation.
