Scientific paper

THE discussion as to the existence of a planet within the orbit of Mercury leads me to communicate an observation made many years ago, which I believe nothing but the existence of an unknown planet between us and the sun can explain. On Sunday, January 29, 1860, the sun rose in a fog in London, so that he could be steadily looked at as if through a dark glass. Soon after eight o'clock a perfectly round black object was seen by four persons, including myself, clearly denned upon the lower half, according to my recollection, of the sun's disc. It passed slowly across his face and made its egress at about half-past nine A.M. In apparent size it was equal to the representations I have seen of Mercury in transit.
