The Transit Instrument being placed nearly in the meridian, by following a fixed 

 Star till the moment of its culmination, and all (he adjustments being examined, ob- 

 serve the times of the transits of two fixed stars which differ much (at least 30°) in 

 declination, and very little in R. A. If the Timekeeper shew Solar time, reduce the 

 observed interval to side real time and compare it with the interval between the true 

 apparent R. As. in the following form.

 If the sign be plus the deviation is East and vice versa. 



The deviation being in time, and multiplied by the numbers of the lower line (c) 

 and applied to the difference between the observed transits will denote the error of

 lume of figures, each item nearly being the hiean of thirty numbers. Though at- 

 tended with some labour, this is really the only shape in which a Diary of the sort
