Has discovered two new satellites of Uranus; gives observations. Would JH suggest names for them.
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.
Giving his recent observations of the satellites of Uranus. Has not detected more than four satellites.
