Scientific paper

A collection of 4411 observations of occultations of Jupiter's Galilean satellites, obtained between 1836 and 1972, have been reduced to UT time scale and compared to predictions arising from three current theories. The method for obtaining time residuals, the differences between the observed and predicted values, is described. Although the present data are obtained from visual observations, the residuals obtained here show that these observations are accurate enough to provide information on the long term behavior of the Galilean satellites.
