The obfervations of Mr. IfleniefFt, made at Yakutsk in 

 the year 1769, to which place he was fent to obferve 

 the traniit of Venus, have received the fandion of the 

 Imperial Academy. The longitude which he fixes for 

 Yakutsk is 8'' 29^ 34''. this correfponds, to a fufficient 

 degree of exa6tnefs, with the longitude inferred from, 

 the obfervations of Kraflilnikoff. 



Thus the longitude of Yakutsk from Paris being 

 S"" 29° 4.". or in degrees 127 16 o. and of Bolche- 

 refk 10 17 17, or in degrees 150° 19' 15. the dif- 

 ference of the longitude of thefe two places, from agro- 

 nomical obfervations, amounts to i 48 8. or in de- 

 grees 27° 3'' o. The latitude of Bolcherefk is 52° 55' o''. 

 and that of Yakutfk 62° i'' 50''. and the difference of
