30 p. M. , December 12, Professor Eastman, Mr. Rosenbusch, and I, made an official visit to Chevalier Achille Basile, royal prefect of the province of Syracuse, who received us most kindly, and said that it would afford him the greatest pleasure to be of service to us while we remained in Syracuse. That same afternoon he had the boxes containing our instruments passed jthrough the custom-house without being opened, and delivered to us at our hotel. II. SITE OF OBSERVING-STATION. After making a ...thorough reconnaissance of the whole city of Syracuse, the place which seemed to me best adapted for our observing-station was the bastion situated on the north side of the Prima Porta Terra. The surface of the ground there was 52 feet above the sea-level, and, with the exception of an arc of 55, included between the true bearings S. 5 W. And S. 50 E. , the horizon was perfectly unobstructed. The obstructions in the arc in question consisted of the buildings in the more elevated part of the city, but they nowhere rose so high as to interfere with astronomical observations.
