45 



Remarks. 



An unfavorable night for observations, either bvcaure of much motion to the planet, and a flaring disc, or a partial obscuration of the comparing star 



by light cirri, that rendered measures doubtful under ordinary illumination, 

 a Micrometer recorded + 3.46 rev. 

 6 Somewhat belter than preceding. 

 Recorded '21 .2*. at wire C. 

 t Seen through haze. 



c As the light of the east lamp went out just on obser- 

 ving Mars, it was removed, and not replaced until af- 

 ter observing the comparing Ktar. The removal of 

 its weight is shown in the measures.
