Abstract
ON January 4 last, at 5h. 43m., the red spot on Jupiter was estimated to be on the central meridian of the planet. The any previous opposition. In 1890 I determined the period as 9h. 55m. 40˙2s., which differed very slightly from that derived from my observations in 1887, 1888, and 1889. It now appears, however, that a marked retardation has occurred, and it remains to be seen whether this will be maintained until the close of the apparition.
