Longitude of the perihelion 116 34 261 



„ „ ascending node 102 35 46*10 



Inclination of orbit 30 58 35-86 



Angle of excentricity 52 44 26"57 



Mean daily sidereal motion 6217965

Motion Direct. 



By these elements I have calculated a daily ephemeris, beginning at the 7th Sept. 

 1851, and ending January 12,1852, from which ephemeris the following is an extract. 



The maximum of the intensity of light, viz. 3-197, would be Oct. 27th. 

 it was as follows : — 



Feb. 26 5-213 



March 10 (mas.) 6-447 



„ 27 5 036 



April 1 4-362 



„ 22 (last observation) 2*101

Observations made at the Observatory of Highfield House on Zodiacal Light. 

 By E. J. Lowe, F.R.A.S. 



As a new feature has, I believe, been discovered in the western light during the 

 series of observations made here, a short extract has been deemed of sufficient interest 

 to present to the Association. The latitude and longitude of this place are, lat. 52° 

 57' 30" N., Long. 1° 10' W. The annexed records show, — 1st, pulsations of light
