gio Dr. Herschel’s observations of the satellites 
satellite is at a considerable angle sp; the second is at a 
moderate angle np. Third, fourth, and fifth satellites were 
noticed. 
J The first was 7 6° sp ; the second was 31 0 np. A long 
interval happening to prevent subsequent observations, the 
supposed satellites were lost. 
1787, March 5, 7 h 14'. The first satellite is about 6° sf. 
7 h 17', the second is about 87° nf ; a third is about 40° nf. 
J The first satellite was 2o|° sf ; the second was 87° np ; 
the third proved to be a star. The planet was only observed 
about 3 or 4', and it does not appear that great accuracy in 
the estimations was attempted. 
1787, March 7, 7 h 12'. The first satellite is 82° np. 7 h 13' 
the second is about 30° np. Very coarsely estimated. A 
third is about 6° nf ; it seems to have a fourth close to it. Hav- 
ing some doubts about the fourth, I viewed it with 600 and 
800; I saw it also well with 1200, and had a glimpse of it 
with 2400. These high magnifiers require a fine apparatus 
for adjusting the focus. 
J The first satellite was 78^° nf; the second was 41 0 np ; 
the third and fourth proved to be stars. 
1787, March 8, 8 h 52'. Both satellites were seen for a 
few minutes. 
J The first was 70° np ; the second was gjr 0 np. 
1787, March 11. I found that some friends who came to 
view the satellites saw them best with 480, when the planet 
was drawn to the margin just out of the field. 
1787, March 15, 8 h 7'. The first satellite is about 48° nf ; 
the second is 5 0 sf. The second satellite being so nearly 
following the planet, I tried to measure its distance by sidereal
