Satellites of the Georgium Sidns , &c. 63 
1st and 2d known satellites were in full view March 26th ; see 
figure 5. and the observation places this new one in a line 
drawn from the planet continued through the 1st; with the 
remark, that it was a little farther from the planet than the 1st. 
The 2d was then near its greatest southern elongation, and we 
may see from the figure, as well as from the above description, 
that the orbit of this new satellite is situated between the orbits 
of the other two. 
We have a second observation of the same satellite March 27, 
1794; where, among the glimpses of additional satellites at 
n h 4i / , is mentioned “one in a place probably agreeing,with 
“ the new satellite of March 26th,” which, by its motion, must 
have been carried forward, so as to be where the observation of 
the 27th says it was, namely, “ a little farther off' and after the 
“ 1st that is, at a little greater distance from the planet than 
the 1st, and not so far advanced in its orbit as that satellite. 
This amounts not only to an additional proof, but even an- 
nounces the recognition of the satellite, and its motion in the 
course of one day. 
An exterior Satellite. 
Feb. 9, 1790. A new satellite was seen, in a line with 
the planet and the 2d satellite. See figure 1. To convince 
us that this was not a fixed star, we have the observations 
of two other nights, the 11th and 12th of February, where the 
removal of it, from the place in which it was Feb. 9, is clearly 
demonstrated. As it was in a line continued from the planet 
through the second satellite, its orbit must evidently be of a 
greater dimension than that of the 2d; I shall therefore put it 
down as an exterior satellite.
