WITH A STAR OBSERVED BV LALANDE. 1 5li 



With the exception of the missing star, Nos. 1 and 2 are the only ones not excluded 

 from the hypothesis of identitywith Leverrier, by having heen since found in llesscTs 

 Zones. No. 1 I reject as too small, and No. 2 I reject as too far south of the computed 

 place. No. 8 was then, hefore examining the heavens, the only plausible candidate for 

 being missing. 



It is possible that the computation of the perturbations for May 10th, 1795, may set 

 aside this hypothesis, though I think it improbable. 



Yours, very respectfully, 



SEARS C. WALKER.
