Abstract
PROF. J. COUCH ADAMS, in his classical investigation into the dynamics of the great Leonid swarm, employed Gauss's method in determining the perturbations of the surrounding planets upon these meteors. Gauss's method furnishes the average amount of each perturbation, and although this was sufficient for the immediate object which Prof. Adams had in view, it has appeared desirable to penetrate more deeply into the problem.
