Jl Supplement to Major^Gemral Roys Accmnt of the Mode pro-^pofed to h followed in determining the relative Situation of theRoyal Obfervatories of Greenwich and Paris. See p. i88« ReadNov. 8, 1787. IN the account of the propofed trigonometrical opera-tion for determiniog the difference between the meri-dians of the Royal Obfervatories of Greenwich and Paris,I have, at p. 221. and 222. had occafion to remark on aninconliflency found in the fum of the three equations, asjftated by M» Bouguee, for obtaining the lengths of de-grees of great circles perpendicular to the meridian,
