Excepting for a moment the 6th and 8th moon, we see but 
small differences; Mimas and Enceladus being too near Saturn, 
3 _. ed of all, (by Huyghens, 1655), and Japetus the second, (by 
a a 1671). These estimates of the masses are further cor- 
. my of which we have definite knowledge. The original dis- 
Fie, 4 the original harmony of these distances 1s therefore 
a hapa deranged. We cannot even with any degree of cer-
