Abstract
EPHEMERIS OF PALLAS.—Now that the Nautical Almanac no longer gives the places of the four bright asteroids, an ephemeris of Pallas may be of use. It is from Marseilles Circular No. 389, and is for Greenwich midnight. Perturbations were not allowed for but the places are corrected approximately by observations during August. Opposition takes place on October 25, when the magnitude is 7.8, but the beginning of October is more favourable for observation owing to the rapid motion southward.
