111 the calculation, wc assumed that tlie values of Z^, are equal in the 

 three cases. But as we .^ee in the tables, the ineasurements of the 

 breadths Avere not ascertained in the same way. Hence the values 

 of /o must differ in these three cases. Indeed we attempted to find 

 the more correct values of B, r, i) and a by applying the method 

 of least squares to the residuals of the approximate values obtained 

 by the trial method, and to com])are the values of these constants
