Has discovered two new satellites of Uranus; gives observations. Would JH suggest names for them.
Giving his recent observations of the satellites of Uranus. Has not detected more than four satellites.
Suggests names for the satellites of Uranus, in response to a request from WL [see WL's 1851-11-3].
Congratulations to WL on his discovery [see WL's 1851-11-3]; naming should occur once the various satellites have been described and verified.
