Objective To report our experience with metallic self-quality of life was improved and symptoms such as loin pain were ameliorated. Renal function was pre-expanding stents in the palliative care of patients with ureteric obstruction caused by advanced pelvic served; the mean serum creatinine level before and after stenting was 636 and 263 mmol/L, respectively). malignancy. Patients and methods Seven patients (five men and twoThe mean duration of stent patency was 9 months. Of the five patients who subsequently died, only two women, mean age 72.8 years, range 58-88) with ureteric obstruction caused by advanced pelvic malig-had recurrent renal failure, presumably caused by stent occlusion. nancy were evaluated.

IV. Stars observed with the Moon at Blackheath, from August 1831 to J anuary 1832, by Mr. Wrottesley. The obserVations were made with a five foot transit. ' V. Observations made at the East India Company's Observatory at St. Helena, by Mr. Johnson. These consist, first, of observations of the moon and moon-'culminating stars from January to August 1830; seeondly, of observations of the solstices of December 1829, and of June and December 1830. The latitude of the observatory deduced from them is 15°55' 23",65, while from several of the Greenwich stars, observed alternately by direct vision and reflexion, it is 150 55' 26",54.VI. On the Planetary Theory, by Mr. Lubboek. The object of this paper is to point out some simplifications Which may be obtained in developing the functions R and 7' (Elf?) by the use of the binomial theorem. Mr. Lubbock applies this method to the determination of that part of r (52-?) which contains the first powers only of: the eccentricities. VII. On the Rotation of Venus, by the Rev. Mr. Hussey. Mr. Hussey's object in this paper is to shew that the time of rotation of Venus asserted by Bianchini, of 23 days and 8 hours, is a near approximation to the truth, in Opposition to Cassini and Schroeter, Who fixed the same, the former at 23h 15'", the latter at 23h 21m; and to Sir W. Herschel, who, though he declares the time of rotation to be doubtful, thinks it cannot be so much as ' 24 days. The observations of Bianchini are quoted at 1ength,'in his own words, by Mr. Hhssey, who also enters minutely into the arguments used by the younger Cassini, in support of his father's observations. From a review of the whole argument, Mr. Hussey eonCludes from Cassini, Maraldi, and Herschel, not having been able with powerful instruments to distinguish the spots of Venus, that their latitudes were unfavourable for such observations ; that the observations of Schroeter are not to be depended upon, as Sir W.Herschel was unable to verify ,the *Same, with a more powerful telescope; that Cassini's observatio'hs'are in the same predicament, * having been made with an inferior instrument, imperfectly inounted and without a micrOmeter, and notghavihg been much relied On by the observer himself; that we are justified in placing'confidenee .in the observations of Bianchini, from the favourable cii'cumstance's . under Wthh they were made, the minuteness with which'they are
