<l which he has drawn up, Jie promifes to comply 
“ with it punctually on his part.” 
The Abbe has accordingly fent Dr. Watfon a 
feries of obfervations, which he recommends to Mr. 
Mafkelyne to make, from the 13th of June 1761, 
a few days after the tranfit of Venus, till the pth of 
May 1762. This paper Mr. Mafkelyne has tran- 
fcribed, and propofes to make thefe obfervations in 
concert with the Abbe De la Caille. And if a copy 
of this paper, which Dr. Watfon propofes to lay be- 
fore the Society, at their next meeting, was put into 
the hands of Dr. Bradley, that gentleman might like- 
wife make correfpondent obfervations. 
The Abbe like wife adds, <c That he has fuppofed, 
<c that the feCtor, which Mr. Mafkelyne takes with 
<£ him to St. Helena, would take in five degrees and 
“ a half on each fide the zenith ; and that his clock 
“ w r ould be regulated by fydereal time.” This feCtor 
extends much beyond the Abbe’s expectation, as it 
takes in eight degrees and a half on each fide of the 
zenith. 
The Observation's recommended by the Abbe De 
la Caille to Mr. Mafkelyne.
