of the Georgian planet. 
the same method it appears that a real satellite called the 
second, was visible about 65 degrees north preceding the 
planet; which situation agrees with the configuration and 
also sufficiently well with a coarse estimation, which, as there 
was no wire for the parallel in the focus of the eye glass, 
could not be accurate. The supposed third satellite, by sub- 
sequent observations, was found to be a star. 
17 87, January 12. The first and second satellites are not 
to be seen in the place where I saw them last night. The 
supposed third is left where it was. I can see no small star 
near the planet, but the evening is not sufficiently clear, 
1787* January 14, i2 h 3'. There are again three supposed 
satellites ; I have marked them 1st, 2d, and 3d, without any 
particular reason for that order. 
J The first satellite was 88° nf ; which agrees with the situ- 
ation of that which in the configuration was marked 1st. The 
second satellite was 22^ sp, and agrees with that which in the 
configuration was marked 3d. In the configuration the num- 
bers are placed according to their distances from the planet, 
and that which is marked 2d was found to be a star remaining 
in its place. 
1787, January 17, n h 51'. There are now again three 
supposed satellites. The first is south preceding the planet, 
and makes a right angle with the 2d and 3d. The second is 
at the angular point and is south of the planet but a little 
preceding. The 3d is north following the planet. I have 
also added a 4th and 5th. The night is very fine and my 
telescope bears a high power. 
X The first was 34 0 sp, which agrees with the configuration. 
The second was south of the planet but a little following,
