value of the micrometer in seconds, rigorous examination 
has satisfied me that it is precisely the same with that of the 
micrometer formerly employed. The observations of this 
date, and of all subsequent to it, will be made by means of 
this micrometer.

Observed with 413, when a few minutes west of the meridian; the angles I con- 
sider very good ; but the distances are perhaps a little inaccurate : the stars are 
well defined, but are very unsteady.

I cannot procure any measures of distance, the extreme unsteadiness of the stars 
rendering it impossible. Observed with 413. Stars tolerably well defined, and on 
the meridian at the time of observation.

Observed with 413, a few minutes east of the meridian; stars unsteady, but at 
times well defined.

Observed on the meridian with 413, but the stars are so unsteady, that measures of 
distance are impracticable.

Position zz 32 0 o' nf\ 7 Obs. | Diff. = 4 0 7'. Very difficult, 
Observed with 413, with which power no measures of distance can be procured, 
owing to the extreme unsteadiness of the stars. I therefore applied 327, and 
obtained as results.
