By a mean of 24 meridian altitudes of the Sun and 
Bars taken in December, one of which only, gives the 
// 
latitude 11,7 different from the mean of the whole, I 
determined the latitude of my obfervatory, in the Rue 
de la Pojie 5 1 0 15' 10" North. 
The Connoiffance des terns gives the lat. 51 0 13' 55"; 
but I do not know in what part of the town, or by whom 
it was determined.
