Remarks. 



No good measures, or rather no satisfactory measures, during the morning. Interrupted by fog. There is a neat double star of the 9th and 10th 

 magnitudes preceding 31791 H. C., and south of it about 40&quot;. This is doubtless 31784 H. C., which should have been observed instead of 31791 H. C. ; 

 the magnitudes having led to the error. 



a Blurred. 



b Better. 



c Very much blurred. 



d Seen through fog.
