At the beginning of 1858 the government founded a magnetic observatory on Flagstaff Hill, [[West Melbourne, Victoria|West Melbourne]], under a distinguished German scientist, [[Georg von Neumayer]], who had applied for a site in the Domain south of the Yarra without success. Both Ellery and Neumayer found that the sites given them were not suitable for their work, but it was not until 1863 that a move was made to the Domain. [[Edward John White]], an able astronomer, was added to Ellery's staff in May 1860, and several valuable catalogues of stars were prepared and published.
