330 Dr. Herschel’s observations of the satellites 
17 97, March 25. io h 40'. With 320 I cannot perceive 
either of the satellites ; with 600 I can see neither of them ; 
many stars are pointed out. 
J The first satellite was 87° sp ; distance 320, invisible. 
The second was 66 ^° nf ; distance 251, invisible. The stars 
remained. 
1797, March 28, io h 36'. The two satellites seem to be 
nearly in a line drawn from the second to the centre of the 
planet ; the second is 8o° 2 6' nf. There is an exceeding 
small star about four times the distance of the second satel- 
lite in the line of the greatest elongation, I do not remember 
to have seen it among the lettered stars which are pointed 
out, the 25th. 
J The first satellite was 783- 0 nf ; distance 597. The se- 
cond was 8oi° nf ; distance 592. There is no subsequent 
observation of the small star. 
1797, March 29, 9 h 39'. I see one of the satellites. Cloudy. 
I suppose it to have been the second. 
J The first was 83° nf ; the second was 83-p nf. 
1798, February 6, n h 29'. The second satellite (mis- 
called a star) is at a great angle sp ; three stars are pointed 
out. 
J The first satellite was 74^° nf ; distance 251 ; invisible; 
The second was 79 0 sp ; distance 552. The three stars re- 
mained.* 
1798, February 7, n h 7'. I cannot see the first satellite. 
The second is at a great angle sp near one of the stars marked 
down last night, which is now so small that I cannot distin- 
* The planet being past the node, the angular distance of the satellites from zero, 
and their apparent motions are inverted.
