10. It is of interest to compare the values of the perturba- 

 tions thus found with those given, for the same interval, by 

 Bauschinger. These latter values were computed by Neuge- 

 bauer, and Bauschinger's Elements V^ were made the basis 

 of the computation. In this work the Osculating Epoch was 

 taken as of 1889 October 8.0, Berlin M. T., and the computa- 

 tions were made at a uniform interval of forty days. This 

 brings a date of computation on October i i.o, 1896, for which
