of the Georgian planet. 331 
guish it from the satellite. An extremely small star preced- 
ing a line that joins two lettered stars may be an exterior 
satellite. Position of the satellite (called the 6th) 64° 41' np. 
I2 h 3 6', there is no star in the path of the planet which to 
morrow or next day can be taken for this 6th satellite. 
J The first satellite was 85° sp ; distance 1 59, invisible. 
The second 783- 0 sp ; distance 592. The supposed satellite, 
called the 6th by way of readily referring to it, and also 
partly to express its distance, was found to remain in its 
observed place. 
1798, February 11, 9 11 17'. The path of the planet is 
marked by a configuration of lettered stars, taking in those 
from which it comes and those towards which it will go. 
llh 35 '> ^e situation of a supposed exterior satellite (called 
the 5th ) with regard to the lettered stars is pointed out. It 
is excessively faint, but the night is very beautiful. 
n h 46', the position of the 5th satellite is 89° 19,5 nf; but 
the satellite is so faint that the measure cannot be very 
accurate. 
i2 h 16', I cannot see either of the two old satellites. There 
is an extremely small north preceding star x, which may be 
a more distant satellite ; it is much smaller than the 5th, and 
will therefore become invisible when the planet comes near it. 
J The first satellite was 89J 0 nf ; its distance was 41, and 
it was therefore invisible. The second was 79^ 0 nf ; its dis- 
tance was 241 ; and it was therefore also invisible. 
1798, February 13, io h 17'. The old satellites are in the 
place I had calculated. The 5th satellite and the small star 
x , observed February 11, are not visible; but the weather is 
very indifferent.
