To estimate the distance given in the above table, 31' may be taken as equal to the Mean Apparent diameter of the Moon. At their conjunction on August 8th, Venus and Saturn being but I’ apart, would appear to the eye as one star, and they may be so seen in the East just before sun- rise that morning. An interesting grouping of Jupiter, Mars and Uranus will be seen in the early part of July.

There will be eighteen occultations of Planets by the Moon, one of Mercury, May rst; two of Venus, January 7th, April 30th; one of Mars, June 9th; of Jupiter, eight, Janu- ary 25th, February 20th, March 20th, April 16th, May 13th, June 9th, July 7th, August 3rd ; and six of Uranus occurring
