XVII. History of Astronomy for the Year ISOC. ^3? 

 Jerome de Lalande. 



[Continued from p. 79.] 



Jl>' the Ephemerides of Milan we find observations iipor) 

 the three new planet-, the opposition of Jupiter in 1S04, 

 the euloirium upon Regsjio, a grand vyork of M. Oriani for 

 the calculation of spheroids, some doubts of M. Cesaris 

 up>)n the parallax of the stars announced by Messrs. Piazz^ 

 and Cahindrelli, a nicmoir of M. Carlini upon the refrac- 

 tions, where he gives some analytical formulae, and some 

 observations upon the stars round the poles. In order to 

 deduce from them the coefficients, he announces the tables 

 of refractions, which will be supported upon it. 



M. Oriani, one of the astronomers of Milan, has refused 

 to be made a bishop, and the emperor has given him a pen- 

 sion of 6000 livres of Milan. 



The Ephemerides of M. Bode, for ISO6, which have not 

 yet reached us, contain observations, memoirs of M. Jiodc, 

 of Messrs. Mcchain at Paris, Triesnecker at Vienna,, David 

 at Prague, Beitiler at Mittau, Wurm at Llanburen, Bugge ai 

 Copenhagen, Derfiinger at Kremsmunster, Sehroeter at 

 Lilienthal, Jungnitz at Breslau, Benzenbera; at Hamburg, 

 Harding at Lilienthal, Olbers at Bremen, Gauss at Bruns- 

 wick, Frilsch at Quedlingbourg, Seyfert at Dresden, Ende 

 at Ceile, Prosperin at Upsal, Kautsch at Leutomischel, 

 Schubert at Petersburg, Brandes at Eckwarden, Hahn at 

 Kemplin, Melanderhielin at Stockholm, Klugel at Halle, 

 Koch at Dantzic, Maskclyne's new Catalogue, Letters from 

 Messrs. Piazzi, Lalande, Ideler, Fuss, Eimbecke, Repsold, 

 Wcchniar, Ri-issig, Soldner, and Burja. We may judge 

 by this catalogue of the astronomical activity of the Ger- 

 mans; I wish there was as much in France. 



M. Bode has given a new edition enlarged of his small 

 iflesiial atlas of i;8'2 in 34 sheets, with a catalogue of 

 500;> stars. 



M. liurja has finished his astronomv, in 5 volumes in 8vo.
