J. ; Duncombe, R. L. ; Jackson, E. S. Abstract Transit circle observations of Neptune from its discovery to the present have been rediscussed. An analysis of these observations indicates a reciprocal mass of Pluto of 3 000 000 (0.11 earth mass), with a mean error of 500 000. If 6400 km is accepted as the diameter of Pluto, then this value for the reciprocal mass implies a density of 4.86 g/cm' (0.88 times the Earth's density).
