326 Dr. Herschel’s observations of the satellites 
J The first was 82° sp, i° 2 6' past its greatest elongation 
The second was i° np, i° 49' past its shortest elongation, 
distance 207 ; invisible. 
1794, March 2 6, g h 2'. Position of the first satellite 6i° 53' 
nf, as accurate as the faintness of the satellite will permit. 
8 h 48', the second satellite is 77 0 o' sp. very accurate. 9 h 17', 
I suspect a third satellite directly north a little farther from 
the planet than the first, and the power 480 almost verifies 
the suspicion. 9 h 2 6', with 600 I still suspect the same, but 
cannot satisfy myself of the reality. 1 i h 24', I see the supposed 
third satellite perfectly well now ; it is much smaller than 
the first, and in a line with the planet and the first. An ex- 
tensive configuration is delineated. 
X The first satellite was 563- 0 nf; the second was 79-p sp; 
the third satellite being in the position of the first at n h 14', 
must have been 59^ 0 nf. 
1794, March 27, io h 25'. The first satellite is 75 0 59 0 nf. 
io h 12', the second is 88° 35' sf. 8 h 15', the small star 
observed last night at n h 14' is gone from the place where I 
saw it. From its light last night compared to a star marked 
r in the configuration which to night is very near the planet, 
and scarcely visible, I am certain that it must be bright 
enough to be perceived immediately, if it were in the place 
pointed out by the configuration. n h 19', I have many 
glimpses of small stars, one of them is in a place a little 
north following the first satellite, agreeing with what would 
probably be the situation of the third satellite of last night if 
it had moved with the planet. A supposed third of this even- 
ing is preceding the first satellite, but nearer the planet. 
A supposed fourth is sf ; its distance is almost double that of
