IN reference to the occultation of the star ω Ophiuchi by the planet Jupiter on September 15, I should like to direct attention to the possibility that one or other of the satellites may make a close approach to the star, so that it would be worth while to observe the planet for several hours before and after the occultation itself. Satellite I. will be nearest to the star about 6 p.m. on that date, at which time Jupiter will be favourably situated for observation in Europe and Africa. The second satellite will be in conjunction with the star about 6 a.m. on September 16, and satellite III. about midnight on September 15. The latter is in transit on the evening of that day, and emerges from the disc shortly after the commencement of the occultation. The conjunction of this satellite with the star will therefore be visible in America. Satellite IV. is at this time well to the east of the planet, and its nearest approach to the star, which takes place in the early afternoon of September 15, may therefore be witnessed in India and China.
