INFERIOR CONJUNCTION OF VENUS, 1850-51, 



Remarks. 



An extremely fine night throughout, both objects being defined with precision, and moving steadily. Except those marked " tremulous" and 



" blurred,' 1 it would not be possible for me to make better measures, when there is &o little difference in the times of transit, and so large an angle 

 through which to move the micrometer screw.
