But in addition I include, as the zero point, the place Avhere the sign has been suppressed, the picture 3, that is, the number 2,776, and I also include picture 10, which is not reached by the revolution of Saturn and has the number 11,958. If these numbers are compared with 398, that is, with the appar- ent revolution of Jupiter, then we have the following result: 3 2,776= 7x398—10 4 3,986=10X398+ 6
