 Verrier planet, made during the month of October, were pre- 

 sented to the Academy ; I have now the pleasure to subjoin 

 those which have been since obtained with the Markree me- 

 ridian circle. My first Assistant, Mr. Graham, has annexed, 

 in Table 11., corrections of the British Association Catalogue 

 places of those stars selected for comparison with the planet ; 

 and in Table IIL corrections of the right ascensions and de- 

 clinations of the planet as given in my former comunication,
