1.* 



THE value of t adopted in the Solar Tables of HANSEN and OLUFSEN, (Copen 

 hagen, 1853,) is 365.2563582. Using this and the value of /n,

11. 



The following method of solving the equation 



M=E esin E, 



is recommended by ENCKE, Berliner Astronomisches Jahrbuch, 1838. 

 Take any approximate value of E, as e, and compute 



M = e&quot; sin ,
