Scientific paper

Voyager provided no information on the spectral reflectivities of the small dark inner satellites that it discovered around Uranus and Neptune. These objects are too faint and too close to their respective planets to be well measured from the ground. Observations should be made when Proteus is near maximum elongation and with Neptune just outside the field of view. Multispectral filter photometry of Proteus, the brightest of the small dark Neptune satellites, will be done in filters identical to those used on Uranus's Puck. Proteus has an albedo of 0.07, similar to that of Puck, suggesting common origin. Intercomparisons will be made among the dark bodies of the outer solar system and the small, dark satellites of Mars.
