Motion of, k was very manifest inrelpect of thcFixt Stars, but less sensible in respocl of Satum j Yet itappear’dthat from Oclob. 2y. unto November 1. his Distance from Satum increasedWestward; and« from that time unto Novcmb. 6. it diminilhed: so that hisgreatest Digrejfion from Saturn hapned in theBcginning of November.

Dec. 1 6. \Ve found that on the East of Satum r there was a small Star, fardistant in a streight Line to Satum, and to his ordinary Satellite, which wasOriental also but little distant from Saturn. And Dec. 24*^ we säw this Sa-tellite'm the West, and a Star, Oriental likewise, less distant from Satum than .that we had soen the i6 tfl .

Dec. 13. and 17. 1672. Wc perceived, with an Excellent Telelcope, (of35 Foot made by Campani ) an Occidental Star, remote from Satum , whichin both thole Obfervations had a Southern Larirude in respect of the Linecf his Hingt ; but in the first it was further distant from Satum than in theSccond : so that, if this was the fame Star, as I fuppos’d k to be-, it mov’d-towards Satum on the East, and consequently (siippoling it to be his Satellite}it was in the Superiour part of his Circle.

Feb. 6. 1673. Webegan to sechim again, and we observed him almost alithe Days following till the 20. This New Planet did more and more remove .from Satum till the 19*** of Feb. when we measured.the Difference betwcen.his Passage and that of the Center of Satum to be 30^ of an Hour,. whichgave at least 10 Diameters of Satum, and on the 20. the Distance was judgedby Estimate to be yet greater,
