The above series were reduced from meridional observa- 

 tions : the following do not claim so much merit in point 

 of accuracy, being deduced from comparisons with stars out 

 of the meridian ; they are, however, as accurate as such ob-. 

 servations can be made. 



The above series will be found extremely useful to astro- 

 nomers, who may be enabled from them to carry on their 

 observations of this planet ; and they will als6 greatly assist 

 the calculator in computing its orbit.
