longs to the group between Mars and Jupiter. The following elements 
of its orbit are furnished by Luther.

Inclination, 4 36 56 “75 
Mean daily motion, 924-1747 
Sidereal period, 1401 days. 
2. The new Planet Clio—Mr. Hind, of London, who discovered 
this planet September 13, 1850, first proposed to designate it by the 
name Victoria, but objections being made to this, he has consented to 
Substitute the name Clio, which denomination will probably be adopted. 
__ Several sets of the elements of the orbit of the new planet have 
been computed and published, from among which we select the one by 
1850, Sept. 13, mean time Greenwich.
