I RECENTLY made the attempt to attach one of the prism forms of binocular to a sextant in place of the ordinary telescope, and it seemed that such an adaptation would materially increase the usefulness of the instrument and add to the accuracy of its records. In the sextant which I used there was no provision for rigorous attachment, and only a device of a temporary character could be adopted; but a very slight modification in the construction of the instrument or of the so-called ``up and down piece'' would overcome this drawback.
