60 Notes to Catalogue oJ'ZodiacaL Stars. 



Hers. IV. 1 1 1. "A little unequal. Both rw.; S. a little 

 darker. Distance 17''-23. Pos. 29°-0 s. following." 



P. VIII. 200.) Double. Pi. following star (201) R. A. 

 + 12"-0. Decl. — 7"-5. Mag. 9. Mayer's obs. doubtful. 



M. Sli. 375. 376. The synonyms are omitted by Piazzi. 



M. 378.) Mayer's obs. imperiect. — Piazzi. 



M. 380.) " Etoile rouge." — Lalande. 



M. 381.) Mayer's observation imperfect. 



M. 385.) The place of this star in Bode's Cat. as given from 

 Mayer, agrees nearly with that in the text, but in WoUas- 

 ton the differences are, R. A. +11 \', and Decl. — 1 \\ 



B. 172 Cancri.) The author has taken die liberty to correct 

 what he considers a misprint in Bode's Catalogue, by 

 substituting 10° for 12°. This correction is sanctioned 

 by Lalande's obs. and by Harding's Atlas. C. H. 360 

 apj-jears to be the same star. 



Anon. R. A. 133° 17'.) From Lalande, 148. It is C. H. 167. 



71 Cancri.) The R. A. of the Brit. Cat. requires -f 10'. 

 Herschel has remarked that the star is wrongly laid down 

 in Fl. Atlas. 



P. VIII. 250.) Piazzi calls this 73 Cancri, of which no obs. 

 by Fl. is to be found. Bode and Herschel consider it as 

 erroneously introduced into the Brit. Cat. where the R. A. 

 is greater by 11' than that of Piazzi's star. 



B. 194 Cancri.) Double according to Bode, who settled its 

 place. Neither he nor Mr. South (Mem. Astr. Soc.) seems 

 to have recognised this to be Herschel's star III. 92. 

 "About 1° n. prec. ^ Cancri, in aline parallel to £ Leonis 

 and 40 Lyncis, a considerable star. A little unequal. 

 Both rw. Dist. 8"'83. Pos. 65°-2 s. preceding." 



75 Cancri.) Pr. motion. R. A. — 0"'21. Decl. — 0'-42. 



P. VIII. 257.) The place of 74 Cancri is R. A. - 12' 2''. Decl. 

 — 10' 32", and no observation by Flamsteed is to be found. 



78 Cancri.) Fl. R. A. requires — 2^'. 



P. VIII. 263.) The R. A. of Mayer 395 is incom]iletc, and 

 if this be the star observed, it requires —23'. In Bode's 

 Cat. Mayer is quoted as the authority, and yet the R. A. 

 is right. 



*f* The author wishes for some information respecting a 

 star marked Variable in Harding's Atlas ; it is about 50' pre- 

 ceding 31 Virginis R. A. 187° 4'. Decl. +8° 5'. No such 

 star is mentioned in any other work within his means of ex- 

 amination.
