bright points ; the largeft, to the fouth, is neareft to the body 
(B). and the fmalleft, to the north, is at the farther end (C). 
Aug. 28. 23 26. With the 40-feet reftedtor, I fee the five 
known fatellites of Saturn, and alfo another exa&ly in a line 
with the ring, interpofed between the 2d fatellite and the ring 
oil the preceding fide, while the ift, 3d, 4th, and 5th are on 
the following one. It has fo much the appearance of the other 
iatellites, and ranges fo well with them, that I have not a 
moment’s doubt but that it is a fixth fatellite. It is lefs bright

(A) By computation for 1 1 h. 52' 2l x/ we find, that the 6th fat. was 302,4 >* 
which is exadly in the place where a fatellite called the firh was obferved ; but it 
appears alfo from the calculation which has been given in the note A of the ift 
fatellite, that this obfervation cannot belong to the real ift 5 the 6th fatellite 
therefore was feen this evening without being known ; and this explains all the 
difficulties which occurred with regard to the real ift fatellite. See obfervations 
on the ift fatellite, July 18.
