APPENDIX No. 5 
ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS. | 
Norx—The lunar distances were reduced by Professor Hubbard, - 
sped Bessel’s method, which is presumed to be the most accurate 
ethod known. The important changes made in the longitude of 
one or two pent positions, must, therefore, depend for authen- 
 treation upon the observations t themse Ives. 
se observations have not, in all cases, been multiplied to the 
: extent desired, owing to the nature of the service on which the un- 
. dersi agned was employed; but there is no reason on the face of them 
g for Menbiing the results ‘deduced.
