Reports on location of a planetary nebula. Expresses thanks for book by [Robert] Woodhouse.
Some comments about constant error in TM's observations.
Found two planetary nebulae not listed in any catalog; hopes to show them to JH tonight.
Apologizes for his erroneous reduction. Thanks TM for his list of 'Zenith points.'
Has been unable to locate the planetary nebulae; did JH give their places correctly, or is the instrument unequal to the task? Sends a comparison of John Pond's declinations and the Cape Zenith distances. Comments on the latitude of the Cape. The Hungerford got off yesterday.
Much obliged for JH looking over the observations. Comments on these and the accuracy of the Cape circle and mural circle. Will send his observations on Crucis.
Encloses the Brisbane observations. Appears to be a discrepancy in some of the stars.
