First sentence: During the year 1873, the Transit Circle was employed on the sun, moon, and planets, and on a large list of miscellaneous stars whose places were required for the reduction of observations made with the Equatorial, as zero-points for the formation of a catalogue from the zone observations made at this Observatory in the years 1846 to 1849; and for the use of Lieutenant George M. Wheeler, of the United States Engineers, in the reduction of the zenith telescope work of his parties engaged in surveying and exploring the Western Territories.
