rue Merid. Zen. Dist. of Sun’s centre. 
I regret that I had always to interrupt the Observations at noon, in order to 
observe the Sun with the Transit and Mural Circle. 
The second part of the Reduction to the Meridian depends not only upon 
the Distance from the Meridian, but also upon the number of the Observations 
contained in the Set, and the intervals between them. Only small corrections 
that are of variable signs, and complete their periods during the time that em- 
braces the observations may be neglected in calculations ; but where the sign 
is constant, even the smallest should be attended to, as the error will not be 
diminished by taking a mean of the whole, and no benefit arises from often 
repeated observations. 
The original observations of the Abstracts, which follow, of the Solstices 
observed at Paramatta, would occupy too much space in printing, and are 
therefore preserved in Manuscript.
