The weights for each position were taken from this table, and the sum of the two weights, when 
observations were obtained in more than one of the four circle positions, AW, AE, BW, BE, con¬ 
stitutes the adopted catalogue-weight. In practice, the above table applies sufficiently well, with¬ 
out taking into account the separate positions, when the whole number of observations in the 
Catalogue is less than five. The last column under the caption “8 obs.” refers to the numerous 
stars that were symmetrically observed twice in each of the four positions of the circles. 
(25) Cape 00. This includes the zone of reference stars for the astrographic chart, with mis¬ 
cellaneous observations outside the limits of the zone. The systematic corrections, and espe¬ 
cially the weights, are largely inferred from the corresponding quantities for Cape 06, since the 
material for an independent determination is very scanty.
