I.General remarks. In the report of Prof. Zverev the most important problems of the catalogue of faint stars have been exposed. I restrict my remarks to the organizational topics of meridian observations in connexion with the catalogue and to instrumental difficulties which arise in such a work.

There are three essential problems which are to be solved by meridian observations:

  • (1) The absolute determination of co-ordinates of 931 fundamental stars;

  • (2) The differential observations of the general catalogue of about 20,000 stars;

  • (3) The comparison of the new fundamental system with the FK3 system.
