Remarks. 



No ^oo<l measure?, or rather no satisfactory measures, during the morning. Interrupted by fog. There is a neat double star of the 9th and 10th 



magnitudes preceding 31791 II. C., and south of it about 40". This is doubtless 31784 H. C., which should have been observed instead of 31791 H. C. ; 

 the magnitudes having led to the error. 



a Blurred. 6 Better. c Very much blurred. d Seen through fog.
