^36 On the Motion of the Sim and Solar System. 



The following Table gives the calculated situation of. 

 these ten intersections ia right ascension and north polar 

 distance. 



Table I. 



We might rest satisfied with having shown that the pa- 

 rallactic eftcct of which we are in search is plainly to be 

 perceived in the motion of the brightest stars; however, 

 iby way of further confirmation, we may take in some large 

 stars of the next order, in whose motions evident marks of 

 the influence of parallax may likewise be perceived. When 

 the intersections made by their proper motions and the 

 arches in which the stars of the first magnitude are moving 

 arc examined, we find no less than fifteen which unite with 

 the former ten, in pointing out the same part of the heavens 

 ■ as a parallactic centre. It will be sufficient onls' to men- 

 tion the opposite points of the situation of these intersec- 

 tions, and tiie stars by which they arc made, without giving 

 a calculated table of them. 



The 1st is the following leg of Hercules, and is made by 

 Sinus and /3 Tauri, The 2d is also in the following leg of 

 Hercules, by Sirius and a. Andromedas. The 3d is in the 

 following hand of Hercules, by Sirius and a Arietls. The 

 4th in the neck of the Dragon, by Arcturus and j3 Tauri. 

 The 5th between the Lyre and the northern wing of the 

 Swan, by Ca-pclla and a Andromedre. The 6th near the 

 following hand of ticrcules, by Capella and a Arietis. The 

 7th preceding the head of Hercules, by Lyra and /3 Tauri. 

 The Sth between the Lyre and northern wing of the Swan, 

 by Lyi'a and a AndromcdcC. The gth in the following
