INFERIOR CONJUNCTION OF VENUS, 1852, 



AUGUST 38, 1853 Continued. 



Remarks. 



The planet was so very badly defined and unsteady that it was impossible to make even a second-rate measure. The star is extremely small for a 

 Oth magnitude. There is another preceding it, and some 18 revolutions farther north. 



Omitted in the results.

Remarks. 



Same remarks as yesterday, only, if possible, there is a worse condition of the atmosphere. The star is at least 1J magnitude smaller than the one
