This result is probably exact to within a quarter of a second. 

 The discordances seem quite accidental, they neither arise from 

 parallax, nor error of division, for the three last series were 

 made with the telescope in the same position, and consequently 

 upon the same division, yet they differ more than observations 

 usually do, which are made in different positions.
