ASTRONOMICAL NOTES. OBSERVATORY OF VASSAR COLLEGE. For the computations of the following notes (which are approximate only) and for most of the observations I am indebted to students. M.M. Positions of Planets for June 1874. Mercury. On the 1st of June Mercury rises at 5 in the morning and sets at 8h. 15m. in the evening. On the 30th Mercury rises at 6h. 40m. A. M. and sets at 9h. 2m. P. M. This planet should therefore be seen after sunset during the latter part of June. Venus. On the 1st of June Venus rises at 6h. 8m. A. M. and sets at 9h. 22m. P. M. On the 30p Venus rises at 7h. 9m. A.M. and sets at 9h. 33m. P. M. On the 3d of May Venus and Mars were so nearly at the same point of the heavens that in a telescope of large field the two could be seen at the same time giving an excellent opportunity to notice the difference of color. Both are very small at present being far from the earth. Mars. On June 1 Mars rises at 5h. 8m. A. M. and sets at 8h. 12m. P. M. On the 30th Mars rises at 4h. 36m. A. M. and sets at 7h. 42m. P. M. Jupiter. On the 1st Jupiter rises at Oh. 36m. P. M. and sets at lh. 8m. the next morning. On the 30th Jupiter rises at 10h. 51m. A. M . and sets at b. 18m. P. M. On May 2 the shadow of Jupiter's fourth satellite passed across the disk of the planet just skirting the northern and 15m. the planet seemed to pass over its satellite. On May 7 the firsclatellite made a transit across the plan et or the satellite seemed to pass over the planet. It On May 14 the shadow of the third satellite passed across the face of the planet as a brownish-black spot not per fectly round. It was seen for about 3 hohrs. The broad belt of Jupiter always seen near the middle of the disk is at present slightly rosy in color. Saturn. Saturn is very beautiful .in the early morning about 4 A. M. It rises at h. 29m. P. M. on the 1st of June and sets at 9h. 21m. the next morning. On the 30th of June it rises at 9h. 33m. and sets at 7h. 21m. the next morning. Uranus. Uranus is
