Clarification of priority to the prismatic analysis of the Daguerreotype photograph; comments on the location of a limiting diaphragm in a camera obscura.
Extract from observations of 70 Ophiuchi by F. W. Bessel. Results agree with WS's measurements by different method and increase WS's confidence. Hopes for more information on Gamma Virginis before finalizing WS's manuscript.
