$6 Dr. Herschel’s Observations on the 
5 h 35'- 7-feet. The southmost belt is brighter than it was 
at 2 h 21'. ( d ) 
Dec. 18. 23* 54'. (Cor. — 8' 9", 8.) I see the quintuple 
belt. ( e ) 
i h 19'. All the parts of the quintuple belt seem to be very 
uniform. The southmost on the preceding side, reaches full 
up to the ring, where it passes behind the body. (/) 
I viewed the planet with eight different object specula, they 
all shewed the quintuple belt very well. 
Dec. 19. T 41'. (Cor. — 8' 10", 6.) I have a very beautiful 
view of Saturn. I should suppose this part of Saturn to be 
that, where the quintuple belt is not so distinct as it is on 
some other parts ; though I see it very well ; yet from the 
extraordinary distinctness of the other phenomena, I think I 
ought to see it still better. ( g ) 
The five old Satellites. 
i h 56'. 10-feet reflector ; with a power of 60 only, I see all 
the jive aid satellites * 
4 h 13'. 7-feet reflector. The southmost belt is faint The 
quintuple belt is a little broader on the preceding side, than 
on the following, (h) 
Dec. 23. 3 h 46'. (Cor. — 8' 14", 2.) I see the quintuple belt 
very distinctly. The northmost of the dark belts is the 
broadest and darkest ; the southmost is very faint ; they are 
parallel to the ring, and the southmost just comes up to the 
inner edge of the ring, (i) 
This observation was made to try with how low a power they might be seen.
