THE ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL. 13c A sine-formula founded upon observations comprisedwithin 120 days can only be an approximation, and perhapsof no more value than the suggestion that the minima mayvary two hours or more from the times obtained from themean period. In the following table of observations, the times previousto the present year are only approximate. Comparisonwith the elements is too uncertain to permit their rectifi-cation, and is deferred until the elements shall have beenperfected by further observations. There are anomaliesneeding explanation, as well as confirmatory is especially noticeable that in 1893, while at theminima, —106, —96, —91, and —81, the observations seem confirmatory, the intermediate period, —86, on Sept. 17,shows normal brightness. It is improbable thai the un-certainty in the hour of observation will account for this;it does not seem likely that inaccuracy of t
