126 Notes to Catalogue of xodiacal Stars. 
M. 62.) Piazzi, anonymous. 
3 Arietis.-) Is undoubtedly variable, since Piazzi could not see 
it, although observed by Flamsteed, Bradley, Herschel, and 
Bessel. According to Herschel’s estimate, it must have been 
a bright 7th mag., and Bessel sets it down as of 7:8. The 
position here given is from Bradley. 
P.1. 174.) Piazzi supposes this to be 3 Arietis, as he could not 
find any other in the spot. But see the preceding note. Is 
not this Herschel’s double star V. 92, which he describes as 
“< full £° s, foll. 3 Arietis, in a line parallel to a Arietis, and 
3 Ceti; ; the most south of two. Equal. Both reddish. 
Dist. 51":27. Position 52°°75 n. preceding, or s. following.

«¢ About 13° n. prec. 6 Arietis, towards 6 Andromede; a 
considerable star. Very unequal. L.r; 8. deeperr. With

Brit. Cat. requires —15’, 
5 y Arietis.) The first star of Aries from which the longitudes of 
other stars were reckoned by the old astronomers. The 
name given it is Mesartim, Double. Hers. III]. 9. The 
other star, 196 of Piazzi, same magnitude and R.A. Decl.

any difference the following is the larger. Distance 10’172,

medz, a small double star.” Hers. I].56. “A little un- 
equal. Both reddish. With 227, full 2 diameters of L. 
Position 23°*2 n, preceding. A third star 2’ or 3’ preced. 
in the same direction with the 2 stars of the double star.’ 
P.1. 209.) Piazzi in a note says, Double, Hers. V.84; but the 
star of that class and number is 47 Cassiopeia, which pre- 
cedes this, viz. No. 208.

P.1. 227.) Either there is an error in the R.A. of this star, or 
it is out of its proper order. 
113 a Piscium.) Double. Hers. II. 12. ‘ Considerably unequal.
