For the sake of brevity I state only the normal equations found 
(numerical coefficients)

These equations furnished the following values (logarithmically): 
«e= 0.820019 a= 0.350168, v = 0.790540, 
y == 9.055875 “0615701, w = 0.628364 
from which were deduced:

e= 0.5832 A=211° 17'.5 
I thought it more advisable however to deduce the two elements 
u and T directly from the observations, rather than from the above 
values. With the corrected elements §%, 7%, ¢ and À the mean ano- 
malies were deduced from the first and the last three angles of 
position ; these were then united with suitable weights into 2 mean 
numbers, from which was easily deduced: 
Ib, u=— tal /5 T = 1894.0367 
With these elements the following errors were left in the normal 
positions:
