Aug. 28. 1 28. A line drawn through a large ftar north of 
Saturn, and palling between one pretty confiderable ftar n£ 
and another ff. Saturn, leaves the fuppofed 5th fatellite a little 
on the following fide. By two figures in the journal, the 5th 
is at a great diftance nf. f? . (H). 
Aug. 29. 23 29. The fuppofed 5th is a very little preceding 
a line drawn from the large ftar of laft night, through a very 
fmall ftar ; and a good deal following a line drawn from the 
that the fatellite in the firft place was at the preceding fide of the planet ; that is, 
in the femicircle from 180 to 360, which paffes through 270 degrees. And in 
the next, that the fituation of its orbit was fuch as to bring the fatellite, at its 
proper diftance, into a line drawn from the center of Saturn, making an angle 
of 6 or 7 degrees with the line of the ring, and declining towards the fouth. 
(D) The calculated place for 20 h. 20', Ihewn by the clock, corre£led by 
— 8' 51", 5, and reduced to iah. 22' 16" mean time, is 245°,$ which, as no 
diftance is mentioned, leaves it doubtful whether the obfervation was that of the 
5th fatellite, or of a fixed ftar. 
(E) By calculation the fituation is 268°,i; which agrees well enough for 
2lh. II' 47" mean time. 
(F) 13 h. 59' 38" mean time gives 291 °,S» which agrees with the diftance 
and direction ; but as the fatellite was fp. the obfervation, which fays np. mull 
belong to fome fmall fixed ftar. 
(G) The calculation for 11 h. n' 27" gives 27 °j 4 or at a g 00 ^ diftance ff ; 
therefore this was not the fatellite, but a ftar. 
(H) It appears from the calculation for 14 h. 48' 29^ which gives 74 °> 2 > an( * 
alfo from the following obfervations, that this was the real 5th fatellite * and 
that, having once obtained its place, I kept it in view all the reft of the feafon.
