I think it is very evident the erroneous result will be that 
given in the published memoir; supposing the wrong 10th 
degree to have been taken, the mean angle as read off, 
instead of being — 44, 0 33' would be — 54 0 33 f = + 35 ° 2 7*> 
a difference from the angle here determined easily enough to 
be admitted, when the closeness of the stars is considered. 
Passy; August 9 , 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 
8th and 8J magnitudes. 
Position = 32 0 35' sf | 6 Obs. | Diff. = z° 17'. Rather difficult. 
Observed with 413 when 20 minutes west of the meridian ; 
stars very unsteady, so much so that measures of distance are 
impracticable. Set the position wire to — 4 5 °, and it is so 
intolerably offensive to the eye that it never can have passed 
for a measure ; the stars stride across the wire. There can 
be no doubt therefore, that the micrometer was in the obser- 
vations of September 1823, read off incorrectly. 
Passy; August 10, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial, 
8th and 8 f magnitudes. 
Diffi = o°.3<5o} Extremely difficult. 
Observed when on the meridian with 327, the highest power which I can use 
to night with advantage. 
Passy ; August 12 , 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 
8th and 8| magnitudes. 
Position — 33 0 4' sf | 6 Obs. | Diff. = z° 5'. Extremely difficult. 
Observed on the meridian with 327, the highest power which the unsteadiness of 
the stars will allow me advantageously to employ. Observations of distance are 
impracticable.
