JUPITER IX AND XII
     Dr. S. Herrick, University of California, Los Angeles,
communicates the following ephemerides, based on starting diagonals
and elements resulting from differential correction from variant
orbits integrated by G. E. Newnam II.  Perturbations by the sun and
Saturn were taken into account.
