These corrections were obtained by subtracting each result from the mean 
_ of all the results for each night, and then by combining the remainders according 
_ to the weights of the determinations. They are to be applied, with the proper 
sign, to the Right Ascension and Declination of the Planet; the South Declina- 
tion being, as usual, regarded as negative. On the night of November 9th, a mis- 
ake was made in reading the level attached to the declination circle in the instance 
_ofé Capricorni. In reducing the observations, what was, very probably, the read- 
ing was used instead of that given in the observing book. An anomaly still, 
wever, appearing in the result ; it has been thought better wholly to reject the 
ation of declination of this star for that night. The correction of decli- 
on for November 9th will consequently be + 0”.9, instead of what would be 
tained from the Table given above ; or November, 9th 6 = — 13° 34’ 11”.4, 
‘Since the corrections given in the Table are mutual, any more accurate deter- 
ination which may hereafter be obtained for one star will be applicable to all.
