of the Georgian planet. 
was 78° sp ; distance 431. The small appearance of the 
second satellite is not easily to be accounted for ; its distance 
from the planet was not much less than that of the first ; for 
if the greatest elongations of the satellites be as 3 to 4, the 
above distance will be 1782 to 1724. 
1798, February 26, g h 52'. The first and second satellites 
are in opposition ; the first being sp, the second nf. The 
moon is so bright that their light is very feeble. Position 
79° 53 / f rom S P t0 11 f- The first satellite is small, the second 
is large. 
J The first satellite was 78^-° sp; distance 384. The 
second was 79 0 nf ; distance 327. The different proportional 
light of the satellites in different situations, will lead us to 
suppose that they have a rotation on their axes. The twenty- 
second, when the second satellite was 78° sp, it was fainter 
than the first, and this evening when it was nf, it was brighter. 
1798, March 11, 8 h 13'. With 300 the first and second 
satellites are close together, like a very faint double star of 
the first class. The second satellite is the most north of the 
two. 
9 h 43, the position of the two satellites is 78° i5 / ,3 nf. 
There is hardly a division between them. 
J The first satellite was 78^ 0 nf ; distance 380. The se- 
cond was 78^° nf ; distance 443 ; and supposing the diameter 
of the orbits of the two satellites to be as 3 to 4, their dis- 
tances at the time of observation would be as 174 to 178 .* 
1798, March 12, g h n'. The first satellite is nearly at the 
same distance from the planet as it was last night; the second
