A a. 



a5= 2M (15'^ 55"'). 



ch = 63'. 



ad^ 23M. 

 b and c should be nearly on the same parallel. 

 A 8 {ah) = 2'.o. s {ed) = 1 '.5.

Another pair of objects 



b large and nebulous, e suspected somewhat. 

 a precedes b 0^2. 

 b precedes c 5.7. 

 d precedes e 1.4. 



All these objects are far from my adopted plane of orbit of trans- 

 Neptunian planet. 



1878, Feb. 6.6. — b and e fixed. 



Jan. 5.7. — All four of the objects seen Jan. 2.7 are fixed. They 

 are worth looking at again after two or three weeks, as they are near 

 the present stationary point. 



Another object, a, slightly suspected.
