Remarks. 



No good measure*, or rather no satisfactory measures, during the moraine- 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". This is doubtless 31781 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. A Seen through fog.
