Edward S. Holden and the Bands of Neptune

Abstract Reports of visual sightings of bands on Neptune made by E. S. Holden and J. M. Schaeberle at Lick Observatory are described. Holden’s logbooks record that in 1888 September and October bands were discerned on the Neptunian disk and noted on seven nights. A summary of the logbook entries are given in this note, since they do not appear to have been previously published.
