Remarks. 



1. The second cluster has eleven known members, the average inclina- 

 tion being about 3^ 35', that is, no one differs from the mean as much as 

 20. Of the other groups, several are not less striking in the closeness of 

 their relations. 



2. When the earth, as well as Mars itself, was j^et a part of the solar 

 atmosphere, these individual planetoids were starting on the paths pre- 

 scribed them. Into how many nebulous fragments they may have been 

 subdivided, and to what extent these ramifications may yet be traced, let 

 the astronomer of the future inquire.
