THE observations which follow in tabular arrangement wore made by placing successively the moveable Image of the Extreme Edge East or West of the Outer Ring on the fixed Image of the Edges West or East of the Exterior Portions of the Bright Rings 5 of the Inner Portions of the Bright Rings ; and of the Ball. When the inoveable Image is West the micrometer-readings corresponding to the contacts explained above, arc denoted in the tabular arrangement by the numbers 1, 2, 3 ; and when the moveable Image is East by the numbers 4, 5, 6. The numbers ], 2, 3, denote therefore measures of the Western Portions of the Rings, and the numbers 4, 5, 6, denote measures of the Eastern Portions. The differences between the successive measures 1-2, 2-3, and 4-5, 5-6, give plainly the values of the Breadth of the System of Bright Rings and of the Dark Space between the Ball and the Bright Rings ; and the differences 1-3, 4-6, give ia like manner the whole space between the Extreme Edge of the Outer Ring and the Edge of the Ball on the West side and the East side respectively. If then the value of this latter space be obtained from all the observations East and West in one evening, and if double this value be subtracted from the value of the Axis Major of the Outer Ring obtained from all the observations of the evening, the difference will plainly be the value of the Equatoreal Diameter of the Ball. The daily values of the Semidiametcr of Ball thus found are reduced to the mean distance log.
