facts from which practical results hitherto unattainable, may be deduced aro polluted, your by year. As to the fourth head of the Cow- mission's enquiry, I can give so answer, though it is evident that. On the object with which the Observatory was founded as in a large measuLİK noientific, ao complaint on the ground of enienti is work appertaining to the original idea onu lin, as long as the practical part in doly kept up. Whether the Dirostor given any, appreciables part of his time to suisptifle restarou outside the. ¡inita of the origiùul idea. I am unable to say. But my impression is that he does not, and cannot do do. I should say that, with his present short-handed Staff, the great amount of routing week that he has got to get through is altogether prohibitive of dilet baote research. I think I rot ruber haring sach in his annual reports of 3 or 4 years Ago some mention of a fog okserrationą of Jupiter and Saturn, as well as of Double Store and Meteris. But the state of the Equatorial is proof snungh to my mind that, frou had be the leisure which I do not believe in, he can be doing no work of auch a kind as present, or at angrente-nowo-df à elaster extent to which ́az ception could possibly be takan bara ob served that he from time to time sends comma. mica ions to the Mateorological Society, as well as to the Observatory," the Astronacho," "Nature," and other periodicals. But all of those relate to scientifle ronits deduced
from his legitimasa work here. They are things which the world ought to know Their publication is to the credit of Hongkong; and it
