340 Dr. Herschei/s observations of the satellites 
visible. The night seems to be very clear, but the wind is 
in the north-east. 
X The first satellite was 8o^° sp; its distance was 382, 
and it ought to have been seen. The second was 6i° sp ; 
distance 4 6 ; invisible ; if the north-east wind, which is always 
unfavourable for astronomical observations, prevented my 
seeing the first satellite, it could not be expected that the 
suspected star of the eleventh would be visible. 
1798, April 13, 9 h 5'. The first satellite was not seen. There 
is a south preceding satellite at a little greater distance than 
half the greatest elongation of the first. It took some time 
to verify its existence. 400 shows it very well; it is the second 
satellite. The very small stars in this neighbourhood are 
so numerous, that it is impossible to look for the new satel- 
lites among them. A great many of the stars are pointed 
out. 
I The first was i° sf ; distance 16; invisible. The distance 
being so small, the method here used is not sufficient to give 
an accurate position. The second satellite was 76° sp; dis- 
tance 301. 
1798, May 3, io h 3'. The first satellite is north following. 
io u 7', I suspect another north following a little nearer the 
planet than the first ; 460 almost verifies it. 
J The first satellite was 79y° nf ; distance 556. The se- 
cond, which was the suspected one, was 74-j 0 nf ; distance 
2 59 ; it was therefore seen at a distance considerably less than 
half the greatest elongation. 
1799, April 3, 9 11 51'. I viewed the Georgian planet with 
157 and 300 ; one of the satellites is about io° sp. 
X The first satellite was 77 0 sp ; distance 581 ; the second
