EXPLANATION OF THE TABLES. 
Tab. I. This table contains two arguments. One is the dis- 
tance of the sun from the meridian, which is expressed in hours, 
minutes, and seconds ; and also in terms of the log. cosine of 
the hour-angle. This argument is placed in the first column. 
The second stands at the top of the table, and consists of the 
minutes and seconds contained in the error of time. The 
table itself exhibits the logarithm of the area gb corresponding 
to any given error at any particular observation. But it was 
necessary to give the log. value of this area in both directions 
from the tangent gd, i. e. both when the computed is greater, 
and when it is less, than the real interval of time. These two 
values are included in the same column, but are separated from
