as the first fell on the 19th; the second, on the 18th. The third 
fall, if it took place, probably occurred on the 17th; while the 
fourth happened on the 16th. This regular receding of the dates 
may be explained without difficulty as due to the precession retro- 
grading comparatively fast. The case of the three falls of the 
second column may be the same, though their period must be 
shorter, the difference between 1796 and 1824 being 28, and that 
between 1824 and 1883 being 59. 
We give below a list of other systems, in regard to which we 
remark that the figures in parentheses indicate the differences 
between the contiguous years :—

This latter system is perhaps a double one, as in the same year 
two falls occur at an interval of a day.
