(of the fourth magnitude). The Ceres, 
on the fifteenth inftant (March) was to 
the eaft of the fmaller point of the equi- 
lateral triangle ; I faw it on that evening, 
and have regularly traced it on the fix- 
teenth, twentieth, twenty-firft, twenty- 
fecond, and this evening, the twenty- 
fifth, whenit is arrived between the two 
weftern-moft tars of the fourth magnitude. 
* By continuing this line, it will be very 
eafily perceived, for feveral evenings to 
come, 
The Planet appears as large as moft of 
the ftars in its neighbourhood. It is cal- 
culated to be about half as large as the 
moon; and to be one third of the diftance 
between Mars and Jupiter from the fun, 
Lift of Difeafes.

It performs its period round the fun in four 
and a half of our years. 
Difcovered by M. Piazzi, of Palerma, 
in Sicily, on the firft of January, 1801. 
Tt has been named Ceres Ferdinandia, in 
honour of the Goddefs of Coin, the Pro- 
tectrels of Sicily, and the reigning Mo- 
narch of that ifland and Naples. 
I have examined this Planet with mag- 
nifying powers from forty to one thou- 
fand times, but hefitate in aflerting, that 
Ican fee it with a dife or decifive magni- 
tude, as I can the Georgium Sidus.
