PERTURBATIONS. 



The perturbations are 



ndz = +0?1515; 8 log r= +0.00008; 5/3= -0.00106 

 and 



M=nz=g + ndz = 45?0075. 



For an example for the computation of a geocentric position with the aid of M, d log r, and 

 dp, see the example of (170) IUytaerrmestra, page 215. 



TABLES OF (g3) MINERVA. 



The elements of Minerva are osculating" elements. The tables of Minerva are reproduced 

 from a manuscript by Eichelberger. The original tables were merely abridged and rearranged 

 to conform as much as possible to the general plan adopted for the tables of the minor planets 

 discovered by Watson. 



a It is to be observed, however, that the elements g Q and n contain the constant and nontrigonometrical parts of 

 ndz, respectively.
