56 Notes to Catalogue of Zodiacal Stars. 



(R.A. 105° 12' 15". Decl. 15° 28' 58".) The remainder 

 of Herschel's remarks are unintelligible. 



C. H. 139, set down as preceding 51 Gem. 25' 22" and 

 7iorth 49' 35", is not to be found in Bode, Piazzi, Lalande, 

 or Harding; but if we substitute south for north, the place 

 will then agree with P. VI. 346. 

 51 Geminorum.) Hers. VI. 74. " Has two very obscure stars 

 in view. L. r. S. r. S. r. The nearest about 1 h', the next 

 2'. Pos. of both about 40° or 50° n. following'. 



54 X Gemino um.) Is marked 5 mag. in the Brit. Catalogue. 



Bode supposes it to be changeable, and estimates it of the 

 3rd mag. in 1801. Herschel (Phil. Tr. 1796) gives its 

 lustre thus, \; g. x, 5 — ^. An interval of 9 months be- 

 tween two observations seemed to indicate an increase of 

 brightness. 



55 8 Geminorum.) Called JVasat. Double, Hers. II. 27. 



" Extremely unequal. L. w, inclining to r ; S. r. With 

 227, about 2^ full diameters of L; with 460, 4 or 5 diam. 

 Position 85°"85 s. prec." 



58 Geminorum.) Two obs. of Bradley, compared with Pi. in- 

 dicate a pr. motion in R.A. of — ""IS. 



M. 292.) Mayer's observation of this star is imperfect. 



P. VII. 83.) A star, 7*8 mag. about 30' preceding, 5' north. 



Anon. R.A. 108° 26'.) From Lalande, p. 272. Double, foil, 

 star 9m. R.A. -fO'-S. Decl. -|- 6". Hers, III. 48. "About 

 ^° n. prec. 61 r Gem. in a line parallel to x and 60; near 

 2° from S. A little unequal. Both pr. Distance 6"-25. 

 Pos. 43°'9 n. foil." This must surely be identical with 

 H. n. C. 95. " South foil. S Gem. towards r, about 25' 

 from r; third class, a little unequal." 



Anon. R.A. 108° 57'.) A star in Harding, but not in the Hist. 

 Cel. or any Catalogue. Double, Hers. V. 66. " About 

 f° n. of, and a little preceding 63 p Gem. in a line parallel 

 to w and a. Very unequal. L. pr; S. d. Distance 34"'65. 

 Pos. 1° or 2° n. preceding," 



63 p Geminorum.) Double, Hers. V. 53. " The brightest of 

 two. Extremely unequal. L. pr; S. d. Distance 44"-25." 



Anon. R.A. 109° O'.) From Lalande H.C.51. Double H.n.C. 

 108. " 2° 40' s. f 54 X Geminorum, towards /S Cancri, 1st 

 class, pretty unequal." 



62 p Geminorum.) Pr. mot. in R.A. +0"-08 in Dec!. +o''-22. 

 The star is eilled s in Flamsteed's and most subsequent 

 catalogues; but this, according to Bessel, is owing to a 

 typog^'^P'^'cal error in the former work, and copied into 

 the others. 



66 a. Geminorum.) The proper motion of Castor, according to 



Br.
