(1) Moonwatch Catalogue - May through June 1958, prepared by E. P. Bullis and L. Campbell, Jr. A table of Moonwatch observations is presented that includes observation number, station name and number, time of observation, stellar coordinates, and magnitude. (2) Status of the Photographic Satellite Tracking System, by K. G. Henize. Tables are presented on limiting magnitude data of the Baker-Nunn Camera #1 at the New Mexico station, an estimate of positional accuracy with the Baker-Nunn cameras, and resolution characteristics of these cameras. (3) Timing Satellite Observations, by R. J. Davis. The timing of satellite observations is discussed, and the crystal clock is explained. (4) Preliminary Note on the Mass-Area Ratios of Satellites 1958 δ1 and 1958 δ2, by G. F. Schilling, C. A. Whitney, and B. M. Folkart. The mass-area ratios of Satellites 1958 δ1 and δ2 are determined in a preliminary manner; the ratio is needed in order to use reasonable values of the ballistic drag parameter in orbit predictions.
