About observing stars with the transit circle, and timing the annulus [of an eclipse?].
Was too cloudy to observe the eclipse; very worried about the health of Thomas Maclear.
Has dealt with the problem of thanking H. C. Schumacher [see GA's 1847-10-6].
Clarifies the agenda for the next R.A.S. meeting, and reports that the large refracting telescope is on the way to the Cape.
