 XXXVII. Errors in Piazzi's Catalogue of Stars. 



THE high reputation which M. Piazzi's catalogue of stars 

 so justly maintains, and the constant use which is made 

 of it in every active observatory, render it necessary that the 

 detection of any errors should be as widely circulated as pos- 

 sible. We trust, therefore, that we need not apologize to our 

 readers for the insertion of the following hst. A considerable 

 portion of the errors, therein stated, were communicated to a 

 gentleman in this country (highly distinguished for his ma- 

 thematical and scientific attainments) by M. Piazzi hmiself ; 

 and some others by M. Cacciatori, his worthy successor at 

 the observatory at Palermo : the remainder (which are distm- 

 guished by an asterisk annexed) have been communicated by 

 one of our correspondents, who has had frequent occasion to 

 refer to this valuable work.
