Remarks. 



Can siratus all over the 1 heavens. Both planet and star indistinct and unsteady, though able to use power 235. The small difference A. R. prevented 

 the time ol the star's transit being obierved without risking the declination measure on the border of the field.

The sky was too much obscured by thin cirri to permit the comparing star (H. C. 16337) to be seen even without any light; nor could I find a star 

 in A. K. 8A. 12m. 40.., Dec. +24 32' i, which is on the map.
