An eligible site was obtained upon elevated ground belonging to the Dean and Chapter of Durham, to the south-west of the City, upon which the building is erected. The Observer resides at the Observatory; and observations are regularly made.

The Duke of Northumberland, in the year 1846, made an important addition to the Instruments, by presenting an excellent Refracting Telescope.

The Observatory is placed under the direction of a Board of Curators, according to the Regulations, Tit. xv., Sec. 3. Their names will be found in page
