At this ftation, no obfervations but for the determina- 

 tion of the latitude were made, — the ecJipfes of Jupiter's 

 fatellites not being vifible, the planet being too near the 

 fun. — The clock was put up to adA'ertife us ot the time a 

 ftar would appear in the held of the telefcopes, which 

 is at all times of importance ; but at this place particu- 

 larly fo, on account of the flics, and mufquitoes, v\hich 

 were fo numerous, and troublelome, that an obfervation 

 which would not require more than one minute, could 

 not be made without great pain.
