finally disappeared. It gives a 
longitude more than usually east 
of the Ist Satellite. ‘The planet 
being now so near opposition, is 
large and bright, and its glare is 
some impediment to the precisi- 
on of observation.

We could not take any observations of the Satellites higher up the 
Ganges than Suc’/2, as the great height of the impending ciliff-, (some 
times 50°. above us), prevented our seeing Jupiter, when the Eclipses 
took place. By the same cause, I have lost many observations in other 
parts of the mountains, 
‘Tne longitudes of all the snowy peaks, visible from it, will be dedu- 
ced from the meridian of Seharanpur, by triangles, as well as their 
latitudes, distances and heights. The base for the purpose is that of the 
Chaur mountain and Seharanpur, the station signals at each place, being 
visible from the other, and at the distance:of sixty-one British miles. The 
angles of the grand snowy peaks have been taken at each station with 
the circular instrument, as well as their apparent altitudes at different 
times,
