Scientific paper

The present consideration of the systematic residuals which emerge when Uranus and Neptune observations are compared to their theories will proceed from the supposition that these discrepancies are due to an unknown 'planet X'. An effort is accordingly made to ascertain the ideal region, rather than a specific position or positions, in which the existence of such a planet will account for the systematic residuals. The problematic relationship of the probable albedo of a planet X to the mass it must possess, in view of the present calculations, is assessed.
