It will at once be seen by comparing figs. I and II that they both 

 exhibit very nearly the same positions for maximum Inequalities. 

 Towards the right, however, there are indications that the limits of 

 safety have been exceeded. But there seems reason to suppose that 

 we shall be safe within the limits which we have set for ourselves, 

 and which correspond to about a quarter of a day on either side of 

 the normal. 



Our next point is to ascertain how far the phase of a prominent 

 Inequality, as, for instance, that near 24 days determined by the one 

 series, agrees with the same as determined by the other. It will, we 

 think, be seen from the following table, as well as from its graphical 

 representation which accompanies it, that there is a fairly good 

 agreement in phase between the two values of the Inequality so 

 determined.
