Position = 75° 46' sf [ 5 Obs. | Diff.zz z° 8'. Excessively difficult.

measures of distance can be procured ; and the observations of position are very 
suspicious.

Position zz 74 0 1 ' $f\ 7 Obs. [ Diff. — 5 0 2'. Extremely difficult. 
Stars on the meridian ; the smaller is very indistinct. Measures taken with the 
greatest care ; but on account of the unsteadiness of the stars, they perhaps ought 
not to be considered standard.
