 TAHLE II. TOTAL NUMHEK OF STARS. 



If, in accordance with what has been said, we except the verj' 

 brio-htest magnitudes, the deviations are doubtlessly below the uncer- 

 tainties in tiie determination of the observed numbers of the stars. Tiie 

 somewhat irregular course of the numbers is probably due to the 

 discontinuities in the density-curve as definitively adopted. 



The following table may serve to get at least some insight in the 



distribution of the stars of a determined apparent magnitude over 



the different distances.
