The longitudes of Mimas are deduced from the elements adopted in last years ephemeris without alteration as the conflicting statements of several observers respecting the place of the satellite cannot at present be reconciled and the true correction required is uncertain. T h e three conjunctions of Mimas with the ends of the ring, observed at Toulouse and published in Comptes Kendus of 9 Mai 1881 p. 1099, show the differences: Sept. 28 I I" 01"33' sp Baillaud 302087 + 8028 29 9 5 1 I I sp B 306.53 + 4.62 Nov. 25 10 23 5 0 zf Fabre 1 3 2 . 1 5 -1.00, the assumed length of the ring being that indicated by conjunctions of the other satellites observed at Toulouse in 1876 and 77. An uncertainty of 4 or 5 minutes in the estimated time of a conjunction of Mimas corresponds to an uncertainty of 1006 or 1°33 in the longi-1880 Tonl. m. t. Obsen er Calc. elong. Obs. -Elih.
