I deduced the dlfferences ascribed to the eitles of France and theNetherlands from the geometrical measure of the French mathema-ticians, making allowance at the fame time for the fpheroidical iiguret of the earth. The situation of the cities in Germany and forne othersI fettled vvith particular care from eclipses of the Sun and occultationsof fixed fxars by the moon. The rest I either determined from eclipsesof Jupiter’s satellites and eclipses of the Moon, or, where this couldnot be done, retained them as they are given in the ConnoiJJancedes Temps.
