• N THE NEW PLANETS CERES AX* PALLAS. 



two elements, in all our old planets, are very fmall, fo that th« 

 higher powers of them could be neglecled without danger, in 

 calculating their mutual action, as they produced no fenfible 

 term in the approximating feries. But this is no longer the 

 cafe with Pallas, in which the eccentricity of the orbit and 

 the inclination are fo very great.
