Additional approaches to resolving TM's mural circle problem [see JH's 1835-2-5].
More on the mural circle [see JH's 1835-2-7].
Has just finished the observations of Mars and the circle is free from any particular use. Further comments on his query regarding the motion of the center of the mural circle. Would like JH's assistance on the examination. Has had some brass ingots stolen from the observatory.
Sends the projection of Monday's readings and one of those from the lever of contact for comparison; comments on this.
Has replied to Richard Sheepshanks in the Memoirs of the Astronomical Society. Is surprised how near he got to the general figure described by the Circle Centre. Comments on calculations he intends to carry out. Cannot say decidedly that Zeta Octantes is double; it is doubtful seen through the 8-ft. transit.
