232 Mr. HERSCHEi/sawd Mr. South’s observations of the apparent 
there does appear an increase of distance. The angular 
velocity has undergone a considerable diminution, and as 
this corresponds with the increased distance, the orbit is 
probably elliptic, and so situated as to allow its ellipticity 
being visible without distortion. The mean annual motion 
is — o°,J2,6 } or retrograde.
