Observations of Ceres at, the Opposition of 1882.

-28.8 -28.7' --. 28.7 -28.3 'The accompanying observations of Ceres were niade by means of the 41/2inch equatorial, those of Sept. 13 with the square bar micrometer, the rest with the filar micrometer. I have corrected the differential measures for both refraction and parallax, the horizontal parallax being taken from the Appendix to the Nautical Almanac for 1882. I have also applied corrections for proper motion to the places of stars Nr. I , 2, 4, 8 and 9 : in the other cases I had no authority for the correction.
