The values of t ' and w, in Table I., have been interpolated by an 

 indirect process, which consists in deducing values of the argument 

 corresponding to given values of the series. A direct method of com-

 Nachr., No. 40. I have preferred the formulae given by Bessel, No. 

 33, of the same. As his modification of Newton's formula for inter-
