The comparifon of the following refults, deduced 

 fvcm correfponding obfervations - of the eclipfes of Ju- 

 piter's fatellites taken at Bolcherefk at the port of Peter 

 and Paul by Kraffilnikoff, and at Pekin by the Jefuit mif- 

 iionaries, will fliew from their near agreement the care 

 and attention which muft have been given to the obfer- 

 vations ; and from hence there is reafon to fuppofe, that 

 the fufpicions of inaccuracy imputed to Kraffihiikojft' 

 are ill founded.

In the fame manner the longitude of Bolcherefk appears from the cor- 

 refponding obfervations taken at that place and at Peterlburg to be 

 loh. 20' 22" differing from Mr. Maraldi about 2' ^". Nov. Com. p. 469. 



But the longitude of the port of St. Peter and Paul, eftimated in the 

 fame manner from correfponding obfervations, differs from the longitude 

 as computed by Monf. Maraldi no more than 20 feconds, p. 469.
