Sir Thomas Brisbane’s Astronomical Observations, 
When the results of these observations are compared with cor- 
responding ones made in Europe, a more accurate determina- 
tion of the position of the Observatory will be obtained ; but it 
is unfortunate that none of the eclipses of Jupiter’s satellites 
that were observed at Paramatta are to be found among the 
published observations of the same phenomena at the Royal Ob- 
servatory at Greenwich. 
1. Eclipse of the Moon, January 26. 182S, observed at the Ob- 
servatory in Paramatta.
