The readings for coincidence of the collimators are given in the Greenwich Obser" Transits." Once each week these observations are made both vations in the section through the central cube and with the instrument raised, the latter being marked with the letter R. The differences between these nearly simultaneous readings for coincidence, as obtained by all the observations of each observer, give the following corrections to the collimation error derived from observations through the central cube for each of the years 1887 to 1896:

The practice of basing the right ascensions of the clock stars on the TwelveHour groups was introduced at Greenwich in the Nine-Year Catalogue for 1872. The following tables and the corresponding diagrams of the frontispiece show the effect of this process in eliminating the systematic errors of the places of clock stars derived from the earlier catalogues. The mean corrections to the right ascensions of the First

Seven-Year Catalogue (1860) and of the Second Seven-Year Catalogue (1864) are obtained from the introduction to the Nine-Year Catalogue (1872), p. 8, and to the other Catalogues from the direct comparisons with the Twelve-Hour groups given in the introduction of each Catalogue.

An

of this Catalogue for the stars arranged in order

of Right Ascension.

Columns 2 and

The Number of Observations gives the aggregate number of all the observations in the different years above and below the pole respectively, which are combined with equal weights to form the mean right ascension.

The "Annual Precession 1890'0" and the "Secular Variation 1890'0" have been computed by the help of Folie's Douze Tables pour le Calcul des Reductions stellaires, in

which Struve's constant of precession
