its colour must not have changed, as it is singularly white when 
illuminated by the sun, and preserves its predominant whiteness 
when the other parts of the moon are yellow, or faintly red. —

7. Perturbations of' the New Planets. — The celebrated M. 
Gauss of Gottingen has determined, in an exact manner, the 
masses of those planets which exert a sensible influence on the 
four new planets. He shews clearly, that the mass of Jupiter 
given by Laplace is wrong by more than a tenth part. The 
perturbations of Pallas produced by Jupiter amount to several 
degrees, and afibrd a very certain means of determining the 
mass of the latter.
