Passy ; Jane 21, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 

 Equal ; each 8th magnitude. 



Observed when 50 minutes east of the meridian ; only half ot the object-glass is 

 employed, on account of the interference of the observatory timbers. The stars 

 however are sufficiently bright, to bear all the illumination the lamp affords, and 

 are tolerably well defined.

 very good.
