AT SANTIAGO DE CHILE. 



157 



Remarks. 



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

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

FEBRUARY 4, 1853. 

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



in A. It. /.. 12m. Ids., Dec. + 24 32' , which is on the map.
