mentioned, especially to the north, when there happened to be 

 leisure for them ; but they were not specially sought after. 



The observations were very nearly completed in about three 

 years, or before the end of 1852 ; but a few numbers, that 

 from various causes had been missed, were observed in the 

 spring of 1853. The reductions occupied about one year, and 

 were completed by the middle of 1853. The results have been 

 printed in the last volume of Madras Observations, which 

 should now be on its way to the India House. The volume 

 was not quite completed at the time of my departure from India, 

 but a few extra copies of the Catalogue were struck off, and 

 have been for some time in the hands of several of the Fellows 

 of the Royal Astronomical Society. 



The results of the revision may be summed up as follows : — 

 In all, 1503 numbers were examined; of these the under- 

 mentioned 55 were missing, viz. : —

Of the above, six are accounted for by being duplicates of num- 

 bers representing real stars, whose right ascension has been 

 erroneously recorded by l m , 30 s , or 10 s ; errors which will 

 sometimes occur in single determinations ; two more appear 

 to be duplicates, with errors in polar distance of 5' and 2 s re- 

 spectively ; and three more are probably duplicates, but with 

 small uncertain errors.
