Remarks. 



An unfavorable night for observations, either because 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. 



e 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 star. The removal of 

 its weight is shown in the measures.
