the observations, but to enter critically into this subject would 
extend far beyond the compass of this Paper. The disagree- 
ment of the measures is very considerable ; this will, however, 
not appear so remarkable, when the faintness of the satellites 
is considered, which will not admit of an illumination of the 
wires of the micrometer. The two measures of the distance of 
the first satellite that were taken Oct. 11, 1787, and March 
12, 1798, should both be considered ; but a selection of about 
six of the most consistent measures of the second satellite, 
will probably be necessary to give the truest result. For in- 
stance, those of 1787, March 18, 20, April 9, and November 9, 
with those of 1798, March 12 and 19, might be taken. If these 
measures are brought to their greatest elongation by the iden- 
tified distances that are given with them, some kind of judg- 
ment may be formed of the probable result, when calculation 
is applied to them. 
In my observations I have supposed the distances of the 
first and second satellites to be 3 6 and 48 seconds, and by this 
proportion I have occasionally reduced the identified distances 
of the two satellites to an equal scale. 
IX. The existence of additional satellites has already been 
considered in a former paper.* Many remarks on them were 
given under the four heads of interior, intermediate, exterior, 
and more distant satellites ; and, as many additions are con- 
tained in the foregoing observations, I shall review the former 
remarks, with the assistance of the light which the identifying 
method has thrown upon them, and afterwards, in the same 
order consider, in each class, what evidence of the existence 
of such satellites may be derived from the additional obser- 
vations, especially from those that were made in the year
