Search for Intra Mercurial Planet
American observatories have been very diligent in the search
for the supposed inter mercurial planet, no less than nine having given their
whole time to the search on October 2,3,10 and 11 viz, those of Dartmouth
college, Harvard College, Cincinnati, Glasgow (Mo), Washington, Albany, the
Coast Survey in San Francisco, Ann Arbor, and the Observatory of Dr Peters,
besides others that have made no report.
It is exceedingly creditable to the United States that they
contain so many observatories, many of them of national ones, in which
astronomical observations are so diligently pursued.
