AT SANTIAGO DE CHILE. 



237 



Remarks. 



At no time during the observations was the planet free from tremor; and the necessity of measuring it on the fixed wire (because of the small 

 difference in A. R.) rendered the observations somewhat uncertain : the measures are, therefore, considered only fair. 

 a Recorded 23.8s. at wire C. b Recorded 51.8s. at wire C.
