The paper was not opened to general
discussions, owing to the lateness of the

Section A-Mathematics and astronomy.
This section begun work in the fore
noon at 1870 o'clock and opened with a
paper by Prof. S. G. Chandler, Jr., of
Harvard, upon results of tests with the
almacuantur in time and latitude. The
paper began by giving graphic descrip-
tion of the proper management and con-
ditions of telescope for the observation
of Jupiter. He spoke of the common
clock errors, which are about-plus or
minus-S-10Oth part of second.
When the apparatus are further perfect
ed these errors will undoubtedly become
far less. He gave a number of examples
of the deviations of the phenomenon-or
clock errors.
