Abstract

WILL you be kind enough to make the following correction in your published report of the times of contact of phases of the transit of Venus. The third contact should be 2h. 39m. 57s. in place of 2h. 38m. 57s. These were both inadvertencies. From a comparison of Mr. Finlay's place at the Cape of Good Hope on September 8, I find that these elliptic elements satisfy the place within 7 seconds of arc in Right Ascension and 1.5 seconds of arc in Declination.
