Table 2: Observed minus calculated statistics for Proteus-Triton (P-T), Triton and Proteus in arcseconds. The meaning of the symbols is: $x=\Delta\alpha \cos \delta,
y=\Delta\delta$, $\sigma $ for the standard deviation and Nfor the number of frames. There are 44 observations for Triton and Proteus and 45 for Proteus-Triton because one observation for the satellites has $(\rm O{-}C) > 1\hbox {$^\prime $ }\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ and $(\rm O{-}C) < 1\hbox {$^\prime $ }\hbox {$^\prime $ }$ for their difference. The statistics for 2000 and 2001 are also given.
