Apámvatsa ... 69 N. of A'pa; Do. The polar longitude and latitude of Chandrasekhara's Rerati, as given in the work, aro slightly incorrect. In a letter to me, he gave 359° 10' and 5° 30 N. as the corrected longitude and latitude. Accordingly, the precession of the star amounted to 22° 20'41" in S'aka 1816. These corrections were thought necessary by him in order that the observed ayanáms a might agree with the precession of the star, as he ascertained it. But we cannot but admit that he has confounded ayanáms's (or sun- precession) with star-precession. For, it is obvious the amount of ayanáms á we observe by the sun affects only the sun's place An instagoo of an arror of this kind is current in our Bengali KIMadach, in bioh the oquinozoa are put tvo daga later On Rooount of tha ayaukma beiog taken at 20° 56'.
