This vol~zmecontains the results of the observations made with the Madras Meridian Circle in the years 1883-87 and compktes the series of volumes preliminary to the general catalogue. The number of observations made during this period was only 4052, since after 1883 few observations were made except those required to complete the full number for each in the list. The observers were the same as in the previous three years and no chal~golltla been made in the method of reduction. The reductions have been revised throughout using corrected values for the meridian errors. With this. volume are also issued lists of the corrections that have to to be applied to the results in volume I. to VI. on account of erroneous .determinations of meridian error. The most serious errors were due to the use of the stalpsR. P. L. 14 ((froombridge 195), referred to in last volume. and 24 Cepllei (Hov.). The position of this latter star was apparently taken from the Radclife Pn1cleList and was brought up without the appli- cation of any . No proper motion is ascribed to thia star either in the &oe~aroicla nilw- L'ntnloi~t~eor in the Williavns Uolloge Catalo!j~~~e,but Carrington notes it is a proper motion star and there can be little pubt that it has a considerable proper motion. The positions given for 18\ 6 in the Bediiill and 13adrlife calalogues agree fdrly well with each other but diffor by i~bout12' from the place given by Safford's observations in 1883. BY thia star was in certain years frequently used for the deter- millatioil of the admutll it is evident that very serious errors were introduced. These errors onght certainly to have been discovered at an early date, but several circumstances conspired to conceal them. Into these it is not necessay to enter in detail here, but I may point out that when 1 took up the work in 1891, I had no experience either of the accuracy of the observations or of the steadiness of the instrument, and I underestimated b Vi. INTRODUU'L.ION. both. The corrections that have now been applied show that the older observations especially were very good and that the instrument was remark- ably stable. After heavy rain there is usually a considerable and rapid change in the meridian error, but at other times changes are slow and pro- gressive. Heavy rains are, I believe, responsible for a few outstanding cases of uncertain meridian error, for on e small number of days the error has had to be obtained by interpolation between day8 before and after such rain, but the number of observations affected is not great and the uncertainty lies between moderate limit^. One poipti tbgt oomes out dearly as a result of the investigation af the meridian errors is that for satisfactory work in low latitudes it is necessary to have either s much larger list of polar stars whose positions ars aoeumtely determined, or to have a good meridian mark. There are many sights here when good observations can be got of stars at a consider- able altitude though it ie quite irnpoesible to get any observations of stars belaw the pole or even within 10' above the pole, and on a good inany other nights stars below the pole are so unsteady that they, at times, appear to- dance baokwarb and forwards across the wires. In the great majority of ~bservationsof polar stars the transits were taken over only three wires, adin many C@Be8 there was a considerable divergence between the timea given by the difPerent wires ; passing clouds frequently prevented even three oonaecutivs wires from being observed. With highly trained observers it is probable that better results would have beeu obtained by using the R. A. ~orometersnd observing a number of transits over the middle wire, but with the observers available for the wark here this would have only led to increased errors, for it was Sound necessary even to give up the use of the I?. a. miurameter. So long as the work was simple and purely routine pod results were obtained, but the least complexity or interference with the routine was fatal. It has not beeu considered necessary to print all the correctiong that heve been made. Tn most cases corrections have been entered in the ewata only when they affected the mean plaoe of the star far any year by more than 08.02, but all correctians affecting the separate results to the extent of dbO1 have been entered in the working copies and will be taken into account in forming the catalogue places.
