The Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, was established by an Order in Council, dated 1820, October 20. The Observatory buildings were completed, the instruments, similar to those at that time in use at Greenwich, mounted, and observations commenced in 1829. The Rev. F. Fallows, the first director, died in July, 1831, and the observations made during his tenure of office will be found in the memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vol. xix., which was published in 1851. The Catalogue contains the Right Ascensions of 425 Stars and the North Polar Distances of 88. Fallows was succeeded by Mr. Thos. Henderson, who however remained at the Cape but little more than a year, having resigned the appointment in 1833. The declinations of 172 Stars, made during his tenure of office, were published at Edinburgh in 1835 ; and the Right Ascensions of 174 Stars were given in Vol. xv. of the memoirs of the Royal Astronomical Society, which was published in 1844. Mr. Henderson was succeeded by Mr. (now Sir Thomas) Maclear, who arrived at the Cape on the 5th of January, 1834. The present Catalogue contains the results of the Star-observing at the Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope, under the direction of Mr. (now Sir Thomas) Maclear, during the years 1834 to 1840, both inclusive. The Right Ascensions were all made with the Dollond's Transit, which was mounted by Fallows in 1828, immediately after the erection of the Observatory buildings. The plates carrying the Y's rest upon substantial stone piers. There are screws for the adjustment of the instrument in level and azimuth. The focal length of the telescope is nearly ten feet, and the aperture of the object glass five inches. A power of 132 was generally used in making the transit observations. I can state from experience that the defining power of the telescope is exceedingly good, and that the stability of the mounting is satisfactory. For the determina- tion of the error of coUimation two lenses were fixed in pieces of teak- iv Introduction to the Cape Catalogue wood, which passed across the openings of the northern and southern shutters of the Transit room, and were firmly screwed to the sides to prevent any slipping. The centres of these lenses were nearly in the line of collimation of the telescope when the instrument was horizontal. The focal lengths of the southern and northern lenses were 150 and 34 feet respectively. In the foci of the lenses were placed adjustable silver plates carrying x marks. Substantial pillars were erected to support these marked plates.. The error of collimation was found by reversing the instrument both upon the Northern and Southern marks and taking the mean of the readings, for coincidence of the centre wire and the marks, as the reading of the line of collimation. The correction for diurnal aberration was incorporated with the correction for collimation error. The level error was found by the use of a spirit level. In 1834, 1835, and 1836 the pivots appear to have been assumed to be of equal diameters. In the subsequent years a small correction was applied for an existing inequality in the pivots. The azimuthal errors were usually determined from consecutive transits of o.

The N.P.D. given in xiv Introduction to the Cape Catalogue the above table for a Bootis is derived from that of the Catalogue with an assumed proper motion + i"*93. Attention has already been called to the difficulties which have been experienced in the discussion of the results contained in the present Catalogue from irregularities in the readings of the microscopes of the Mural Circle used in the years 1834 to 1839. The errors in individual results which arise from this cause are never less than 10". Errors of this amount in results for well known Stars are of but little practical importance as their presence can be easily detected and they can be removed ; but such is not the case when we are concerned with the obser- vations of Stars whose positions are only very imperfectly known. The difficulties of the detection of such errors are also greatly increased when the Right Ascensions have been observed with another instrument and, as has been the case too generally in these Cape Observations, no indica- tions of the magnitudes of the Stars have been given. Under these circum- stances, with every care, it is almost inevitable that the observers should sometimes pickup different Stars with the two instruments. The observa- tions thus made have been entered in the books for reduction under the same Star's name, and systematic errors of reduction, generally of a small amount and therefore troublesome to discover, have thus got mixed up in the results. When I assumed the directorship in the October of 1870, the prepara- tion of the work for this Catalogue was so far advanced that the mean places of most of the stars were determined. At first, I threw the whole force of the Observatory upon the work with the intention of completing it as rapidly as possible, but I found that very little of the work had been systematically examined, and I shrank from the responsibility which would have rested upon me of publishing a Catalogue of such results, without a revision and examination of the work which I was not, at the time, in a position to undertake. The work, however, has never been entirely laid aside. I have carried on the examination from time to time as opportunities presented themselves and much progress was made in the work during the comparative leisure enjoyed during my visit to England in the year 1875. The publication of the " Cape Catalogue for i860," and the observations of the stars in Lacaille's zones, which have been made here since 1870, have now furnished materials for a comparison between the places of the present Catalogue and results upon which reliance could be placed. This comparison has been systematically carried out. In all cases of discordance, or apparently large proper motions, I have examined the reductions for the present Catalogue de novo^ and when no error could be •detected in the reductions I have endeavoured to control the determinations of Stars for the epoch 1840. xv of proper motions by independent comparisons, I believe that in this way all, or very nearly all, the errors of reduction have been detected and removed, and that the results of the present Catalogue may be accepted with some confidence as correctly representing the observations and, so far as I can form an opinion upon the point, the observations themselves are good. For the fragmentary character of the Catalogue and the want of correspondence between the Stars observed in Right Ascension and North Polar Distance I am not, of course, answerable ; but I have spared no personal labour to make the work as accurate as the materials and time at my disposal would permit, and I now dismiss it from my thoughts with the feeling that I have at least conscientiously performed a most anxious duty.

The two observations of this Star consist of a direct and reflexion observation made on February nth, 1840. An arbitrary alteration has been made in the reflexion observation by the observer apparently to make the two observations agree, but it appears doubtful whether the alteration made is correct. The N.P.D. is larger than Brisbane's determination by about 7* and is also larger than the results of recent observations by about the same quantity.
