PROGRESS OF ASTRONOMY FOR 1891 AND 1892. 



72.-5 



The first asteroid to wliicli the new notation was assi<;ned was that 

 discovered by Wolf, at Heidelberg^, on August 1*12, 18!>2; it was pro- 

 visionally known as ISUU A, and subsequently received its more per- 

 manent designation, number o-'JS, from Prof. Tietjen, and its name, 

 Badenia, from tlie discover. 



In ISIH* tbirty new asteroids were announced; one of those, 1,S92 B, 

 has already proved to be identical with Erigone, 1(>."); and it is possible 

 that further study will identify some of the others. 



Some slight discrepancies are still found in the different lists of as- 

 teroids for the year, but as the new system of notation becomes <'stab- 

 lished they will probably disappear. 



In the following list all the discoveries were by photograi)hy except 

 o24, 3-G, 327, and 331. lu the case of the pliotograi)hic discoveries the 

 date given is that of the earliest photograph on which the planet ap- 

 pears. It was in many cases not noticed on the plate till considerably 

 later, which accounts for the departures from chronological order in the 

 "date of discovery " :
