 Each observation gives an equation of condition for the determin- 

 ation of the corrections A of the elements of tiie sun and moon. 

 Let these corrections be successively 



AR, Ar, A«o, A«(, Arf©, A(f(, Ajt, 

 then we obtain by comparing the observed distances and chords 

 with those computed the following equations : (the coefiicients have 

 been rounded otf to two decimals).
