of Jupiter’s satellites, makes the
longitude of I.oheTya (vol. vii. Ap­
pendix p. 384) 42° 55' 15” E. The
Benares made it, deduced from that
of Mokha, 42? 47'30. In the text
(vol. ii. p. 219) the longitudo is given
41° 58' 15”; but this must be a mis­
take, sinco the lines give what I have
stated.

a projecting point: but Bruce ap­
pears by his Narrative to have ob­
served liis ou the S.E. There is a
difference of one mile between the
two.
