About 1770 some astronomical instruments were placed above the 

 gate of the hospital . In 1804 J. Henry established a small Observatory 

 in the Munster (Cathedral), and observations were made there in 1824. 

 A regular Observatory was not established by the city until 1830, and 

 then it was placed under the charge of Lequiante, but almost imme- 

 diately abandoned. In 1873 a new Observatory was erected without the 

 town, in connection with the University. Its general plan is a quad- 

 rilateral.

Proposed in 1855, completed in 1858. Its first instruments, supplied 

 from the private Observatory which Brisbane had established at Para- 

 matta, were those by means of which Dunlap had made his catalogues 

 of double stars and of Southern Nebula. This establishment owns a 

 refractor with an aperture of 11 inches (0'". 28).
