tremely faint and only seen by glimpses ; i h 6 ' after I could 
not perceive it; a fourth is about 70° np. 
J The first was 38^° sp; the second 85^° nf. 
1790, January 19, 9 h 34/. There is a very small star left 
in the place where the supposed fourth satellite was last night. 
io h 47', I can see no fourth satellite near the second where 
it would be now if it had been a real satellite. With the 
assistance of a field bar to hide the planet ; and a power of 
300, I can see the first and second satellites very steadily, 
even the very first moment I look into the telescope. 
£ The first satellite was sp ; the second was 77^° np. 
It is very strange that the third supposed satellite should not 
have been attended to when two observations are given to 
prove that the supposed fourth was not a satellite. 
1790 January 20, i2 h f. The first and second satellites are 
in the places I had calculated ; a third satellite is 45 0 np, and 
in a line with the planet and the second satellite. 
J The first satellite was 77^° sf ; the second was 54^ 0 np. 
The third was not accounted for. 
1790. February 6, g b 28'. I viewed the planet and satel- 
lites with three concave eye glasses, power about 240, 320, 
and 460. I see very clearly with these glasses. Cloudy. 
J The first was 89^° sf ; the second was 6 4 0 sp. 
1790, February 9, g b 19'. By a configuration the first 
satellite is at a considerable angle nf ; the second at a great 
angle sf. A third is in a line with the planet and the second 
satellite ; its distance from the planet by the configuration 
is about twice that of the second satellite. 
I The first was 48^ 0 nf ; the second was 6i±° sf ; the third 
was 6if° sf ; two succeeding observations are decisive that
