The wire micrometer measures, taken from this time till 

 the next vernal equinox, are omitted; inasmuch, as being 

 taken nearly in a vertical circle, the excess of the effect of 

 refraction on the sun's L. L., required a correction from 

 the tables of refraction ; which is liable to some degrte of 

 uncertainty at low altitudes. They Avere found, however, 

 to agree very nearly. 



Dec' 14. By a set of measures of the sun's diameters, on the limb 

 and arch of excess, taken, with great care, parallel to 

 the horizon, images extremely distinct, and no dis- 

 cernible spring whatever in the index.
