Summary:

[The discovery of Neptune having been just announced], JH calls attention to JH's recent suggestion to the B.A.A.S. that such a discovery was imminent; states that in 1842 JH had discussed the idea of a trans-Uranian planet with F. W. Bessel, and that [J. C.] Adams of Cambridge had carried out an investigation comparable to that of U. J. J. Leverrier.
