328 Dr. Herschel’s observations of the satellites 
other supposed satellites move in the same plane with the 
first and second, I chiefly look for them in the direction of the 
position of their orbits which is now nearly a straight line ; a 
star that may possibly be a distant satellite is pointed out. 
X The first satellite was 70^° nf. The second was 8i° sp; 
the star remained in its place. 
1796, March 10, n h 43'. The first and second satellites 
by a configuration, are not far from being in opposition, the 
first not being come to a line drawn from the second through 
the planet. With 600 there is no star between the satellites 
and the planet that may be supposed to be an inner satellite ; 
with this power the satellites are very large and visible, I see 
them better than with a lower. 
X The first satellite was 79^° nf ; the second was 86^- 0 sp. 
1796, March 27, io h 6'. The first satellite is in the place 
I had calculated. 
x It was 75^° nf. 
1796, March 28, io h 7'. The first and second satellites 
are in the places I had calculated ; the apparent contraction 
of their orbits is such as to approach to a straight line. 
X The first satellite was 84° nf ; the second was 74 0 nf. 
1796, April 4, n h 16'. The first satellite is not visible; 
the second is near a small sp. star. There is no star in the 
transverse of the apparent elliptical orbit that could be taken 
for a satellite, unless that near the second should be one 
going towards its greatest elongation, or coming from it. 
X The first satellite was 68° nf ; its distance 415 ; how it 
happened not to be visible I cannot account for; the configura- 
tion has no star near the place ; the second satellite was 76 j - 0 
sp. The star near the second remained in it former situation.
