The issue spent first eight pages to treat the possible dust disturbance at Elysium observed by Yukio MORITA (Mo) on 12 Feb (λ=039°Ls) at ω=193°W
. A summary was given already in #130, #131 while this is a more complete note (Note (13)): Elysium was visible from 2 Feb to 14 Feb in Japan and here was reviewed a total of 68 observations domestically obtained. Unfortunately however it was in February when the weather was poor and on the very day no other than Mo and IWASAKI (Iw) observed (but Iw stopped observing earlier the night). At Fukui the sky remained poor, and when the planet appeared after 18 Feb, Elysium moved already to Europe.

Fortunately, there were communicated to us several observations from Europe (listed 16 observations): On the very day, N BIVER (NBv) produced a drawing at ω=247°W, and on the following 13 Feb, J WARELL (JWr) made an observation at ω=247°W and also J DIJON (JDj) succeeded in securing ccd images. They all show the light Elysium. Thus until 17 Feb, Elysium was continuously observed there by Terry PLATT, Andrew JOHNSON, David GRAY, David GRAHAM and Richard McKIM in addition to NBv, JWr and JDj. Roughly speaking, the observations, domestic and European, show that the area of Elysium was considerably disturbed from 12 Feb to 14 Feb.

The northern dust has not been paid much attention hitherto, but already in 1967 SAHEKI and MIYAMOTO observed some examples of dusts from the northern hemisphere rising to the equatorial region, and we recall a more recent fact that MGS detected an interesting dust near the npc at λ=040°Ls. Thus we should be recommended to summarise carefully such cases before the advent of the apparitions where the northern hemisphere faces to us.

The LtE corner shows that the year David GRAHAM succeeded Alan HEATH as Director of the BAA Saturn Section. Ichiro HASEGAWA sent us a lecture of A DOLLFUS on ANTONIADI written in English. Several Greeting Cards were copied: JWr’s one shows a bird0eye view of an old church at Uppsala and RMk’s shows the Burlington House in the Victorian age: On the road depicted is a double-decker pulled by horses showing a signboard of Lipton Tea.

MINAMI’s essay in Japanese says that few notices but the relative pronoun popular in foreign languages is not originally found in the Japanese language and so we need a bit of idea when we translate. The final page proves that the coming 1994 OAA Convention was already decided to be held at Fukui.
