The weights have been computed from the mean errors of observation in the 

 usual manner. 



From the preceding table the following are obtained 

 [p] = 89*7 IJMBo] = 151*818 Log: [pv 2 ] = 1*33766 



Therefore 



x = l'"692 ± 0-"06 



</> = — 33° 51' 41 '69 Epoch 1905 July 12. 



To obtain the mean latitude a reduction to this quantity 



is necessary. 



Adopting the elements given by Chandler in the Astro- 

 nomical Journal, Vol. xvn., No. 406, the following variations
