 Additional information: 

 The two meridian instruments («) and {h) have not been used for half 

 a century, for want of a suitable meridian room, and have been stored 

 away in boxes. 



The two equatorial instruments, (c) and (c'), though mounted, are not 

 being used for observation purposes, owing to the absence of a movable 

 cupola, but are employed in the lectures on i)ractical astronomy. 



No astronomical observations whatever can be made in the present 

 condition of the old Observatory.
