  <dc:title>Letter, from Thomas Maclear to Sir John Herschel, dated at Royal Observatory, Cape of Good Hope</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Autograph letter signed by sender. Has been unable to locate the planetary nebulae; did John Frederick William Herschel give their places correctly, or is the instrument unequal to the task? Sends a comparison of John Pond's declinations and the Cape Zenith distances. Comments on the latitude of the Cape. The Hungerford got off yesterday.</dc:description>
