Remarks. 



At no time was the planet sharply defined or the star distinct. The latter, on the contrary, was faint, and the necessity of moving the micrometer 

 screw with rapidity, in order to measure both objects near the centre of the field, made the observations unsatisfactory. 



a After many trials to make the lamps burn, was obliged to desist.
