An asteroid, discov- ered on November 14,1800, by Charlois, at Nice, and fouml to be a new one, has been named Clarissa. To No. r)23, ])hoto,i;raphed by Dr. \Volf NoYember2S (the tirst asteroid discovered by i»liotography), he has given the name Bruc^ia, in honor of Miss Catherine W. Bruce, who has contributed so generously for the advancement of astronomy. In JSitl t w^enty-two new asteroids were added to the group revolving between ^Mars and Jupiter, and photography now having become a powerful aid in the detection of these snnill bodies, tlie number still likely to be found seems almost limitless. The last on the list for 1891, No. 323, was discovered l»y Dr. Wolf u[)on his photographic i^lates. Another asteroid was, in fact, found upon the same plate, but it ]»roved to b(? identical with ;) (Sapientia). I*alisa, on August 11, 1891, discovered what was for a time supposed to be a new i)lanet, but it was found to be identical with 149, Medusa, discovered in 1875; 275, which had not been seen since the oi)position of its discovery (1888), has been found again by the aid of photogra])hy; 318 is interesting from the almost exact commensiirability of its ])e- liod with that of Ju[>iter. No. 302, (Jlarissa (discovere<l November 14, 1890), was not included in the last list published, and is, therefore, introduce(l here to make the lists (complete. /yifit of minor plancAn of IS'Jl.
