Obfervations on the third fatellite of Saturn . 
July 18. 19 50. The 3d fatellite about 1 or 2° ff. R. By a 
figure, at a confiderable diftance (xA).

July 27. 20 27. About 2f dia. of h following (C). 
July 28. 19 40. The 3d fat. f dia. following \ ; it is much 
larger than the 2d, and a little more north.

Aug. 28. 014. Full 2 dia. f. t? (F). 
is 23 h. 48', or 6 h. 59' 48" mean time. And by computation the apparent place 
of the fatellite at that time was 93 °,' 77 8 , which is 3 °> 77 8 or 3 ° 4 &' 4 1 A 5 2 P aft 
the greateft elongation ; therefore its diftance, if it had been meafured at the 
greateft elongation, would have been 3' 1 1" $22. This quantity brought to the 
mean diftance of Saturn from the fun, amounts to 3'

(X) And from its ruddy colour (fee 06 t. 16.) we may furmife it to have a 
confiderable atmoTphere. This fatellite, therefore, feems to approach more to 
to the condition of., a planet .than any of the fourteen known fatellites..
