Indeed it may be remarked that the insufficiencyoi the hypothesis of a circular annual motion is virtuallyrecognized in the endeavor made by Prof. Axbeecht toobtain a better representation of the American observal altering arbitrarily the coefficient /•._. in eq. (52). Suchempirical alterations, if consistently carried out by chang-ing simultaneously fi. will in effect approximate tothe values in columns 4 and 6, which correspond to theelliptic motion. It is of interest to note that the observations between themiddle of 18114 and of 1895, in Europe and on the easterncoasl nt the 1nited States, will furnish a crucial test of th
