Has discovered another new planet [Flora]. Gives readings.
Thanks for the neat name and symbol he has given to the new planet; thinks H. C. Schumacher has read Hora for Flora. The next one will have to be called Thetis as so many have suggested that name.
Sends his first approximation of the elements of the asteroid Flora.
