This comparison shows that my new table bears the same 

 similarity to the others, that the old one had. Upon the 

 whole, indeed, this last <>ives the stars something more southerly 

 than the former; but the differences are seldom much greater 

 than the probable errors. The corrections which I liave 

 brought forward on account of tlie bending of the telescop«, 

 and Ibr the refraction, have, instead of assimilating my decli- 

 nations iov 1820 to those of Palermo, Milan, Dublin, and 

 Greenwich, only placed them wider; so that by this catalogue 

 we do not approach nearer to unanimity than belbre. It is 

 yet to be proved, whether any assimilation will follow from 

 oUier (juarters, or whether the diflereuce will be still further 

 increased.
