XVIII. Geocenlric Places of Vesla and Ceres ; aiid the apparent 

 Right Ascension of Dr. Maskelyne's 3(5 Stars for March 

 and Jpril 1S21. 



To Mr. Tilloch. 



Cirencester, Feb. 12, 1821. 

 SiRj — In compliance with your wish that (on account of your 

 more distant readers) all notices of astronomical phcenomena 

 might be published two instead of one month in advance, I send 

 you the geocentric places of Vesta and Ceres for March and 

 April. I have also added the apparent right ascension of Dr. 

 Maskelvne's 36 stars for the noon or beginning of every day of 

 thesam'e months. The mean places were deduced from Mr. 

 Pond's table annexed to the Nautical Almanac for 1S23, and 

 the corrections carefully calculated from Dr. Maskelyne's own 

 tables. I remain, sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



James Grooby.
