Abstract
THE health of M. Leverrier is so far restored that he is daily expected at the Paris Observatory to resume his official duties. The glass of the large refractor has been put in position, after having undergone repairs, and will be tested again before being silvered. Bischofsheim's transit instrument is in use, and works admirably. The magnetic instruments are also in operation in the new grounds given by the municipality. Magnetical observations are also taken at Montsouris observatory with similar instruments, and at a distance of two kilometres. Both establishments are satisfied with eye observations.
