SATELLITES OF Saturn. Anno 1684, in che
Month oF March, Hr. Cassini, by che help oF ex-
cellene Object Glasses, ot 70, 90, 100, 136, 155,
and oF 220 Fcet, discorered the tro innermost;

The First Satellite he obserred to be never distane
And the rime wherein the second Satellire makes
ins Rerolurion, is co che rime wherein che srst

The FisthSatellire oF Saturn, is distane From his
Cenere 54 Semi-diamerers oF Saturn; and rerolres
