OPPOSITION OP MAES, 1851-52, 



JANUARY IT, 18Sa Continued. 



Remarks. 



Well defined and steady throughout. 



JANUARY 18, 1853. 



There were too many cirri constantly obscuring both the planet and star to permit observations with the equatorial, or to allow the comparing star 

 to be seen on the meridian. 



JANUARY 19, 1853. 



There were too many cirri and too much haze to see the comparing star under any light.
