54 Notes to Catalogue of Zodiacal Stars. 



R.A. — 16"'3. Decl. — 32"'6. Hers. V. 56. "Consider- 

 ably or very unequal. L. r ; S. d. Distance, 32"'65. Pos. 

 near 60° s. preceding." See also V. 52, which appears to 

 refer to the same star. " Double, the 2nd star from v 

 towards /x Gem. Pretty unequal. L. r ; S. b. Distance 

 35'', inaccurate." 



Anon. R.A. Qi" 3'.) This may be the star whose brightness 

 Sir W. Herschel estimated as 1 7 Gem. The place of 

 that star in Fl. is 1™ following 15 Gem. in which spot no 

 star exists. It turns out that Fl. has only one obs. which 

 could be referred to 17 Gem. and in that the time is marked 

 doubtful, so that most probably the obs. belongs to 15. 



P. VI. 120.) Double. H. n. C. 111. " About 25' or 30' n. f. 

 1 8 V Gem. A very small star, 5th class. L. r ; S. d, very 

 unequal, or rather, extremely unequal. Pos. 77°*2 s. f. 



Ano7i. R.A. 94° 44'.) A star 1° 40' from v Geminorum. Sup- 

 posed to be identical with H. n. C. 141. " Double, 2nd 

 class. It is 1 ° 20' n. f. 1 8 Gem. in a line parallel to y and s. 

 Equal, or the preceding perhaps the smallest." Position 

 from Hist. Cel. 272. 



20 Geminorum.) Piazzi calls this 21 Gem. and the star preced- 

 ing it (134) he calls 20 Gem. There is however reason to 

 suppose that Flamsteed never observed the star as double, 

 and that his 21 arose from an obs. of 20 as a single star, 

 but with an error of !■" in R.A. Pi. 134. mag. 8. R.A. 

 — 14"*4. Decl. — 18"-6, whence the distance 23"-l and 

 position 53°'6 s. p. Herschel's description is as follows, 

 "21:: Geminorum. Double; a little unequal. Both pr. 

 Distance about 25"." He observes that 20 and 21 are 

 not in the heavens as they are marked in Fl. Atlas. 



Anon. R. A. 95° 30') Double. Lai. H. C. 272, foil, star, 8m. 

 R.A. -I- 4^-7. Decl. +24". Hers. V. 112. " Forms almost 

 an isosceles triangle with ft and v Gem. Nearly equal. The 

 preceding p r, the following w r. Distance fifth class far.

P. VI. 144. or B. 48 Gem.) The R. Asc, as given by Bode 

 from Lalande, is +10'. 



P. VI. 150. or B. 139 Aur.) The declination, as given by Bode 

 from Lalande, is +10'. 



24 y Geminorum.) Called Alhena. Hereabouts, two or more 

 double stars. Hers. IV. 28. " Double. Near y Gem. 

 towards ? Tauri. A little unequal. Both r. Distance 1 9"'7. 

 Pos. 57°-0 s. prec." Also, V. 71. " Double, 3' or 4' n. 

 prec. y Gem. Of the 5th class. More in view." And 

 again, VI. 91. " Double, 3' or 4' n. of y Gem. Consi- 

 derably unequal. Both small ; too obscure for measures
