It would therefore appear that very little (if any ) additional 
light had been thrown upon the subject by the latter obser- 
* Owing, probably, to the difference between the latitude by the sun, and that 
by the stars ; a difference, however, much greater in the latter observations than in 
the others ; and, as I have observed, not easily accounted for. I hope, however, that 
the Observatory will be furnished with a large circle, which, besides enabling us to 
obtain other valuable information, may lead to a discovery of the cause of this 
difference. 
t This result is found from about 700 observations.
