This item was about the description of minor planet named as 87 Sylvia. This was discovered on 16th May 1866 by N.R.Pogson. The comparison stars employed have all been observed with the Meridian Circle of the Madras Observatory.

The fond contains observations of the meridian circle reductions ( refers to the process of correcting the observed zenith distances measured by a meridian circle instrument ) taken from the Madras Observatory from the year 1862 to 1887. Meridian circle reductions refers to a process in astronomy and celestial navigation that involves observations made with a meridian circle instrument.
