Scientific paper

THE author of the article on the sixth satellite of Jupiter in NATURE of January 19 has obviously made a slip in assuming that the ``retrograde'' motion ascribed to the satellite means retrograde in the sky, and not in the orbit. According to the ephemeris, Jupiter on January 4 was moving direct, i.e. eastward, about 225'' daily. The satellite was west of the planet (position angle 269°), approaching Jupiter at the rate of 45'' a day, and, therefore, moving eastward (direct) about 270'' daily.
