374 Notes to Catalogue of xodiacal Stars. 
viz. Nos. 170, 175, 179 are so far from the others, that 
they can hardly be said to form part of the cluster: unless, 
indeed, we extend the limits of this subordinate constella- 
tion (as it has been termed) to a space of 10 or 12 degrees 
in diameter! See arecent work, entitled ‘* Wonders of the 
Heavens.” 
16 Tauri, or g Pleiadum.) Called Celeno. According to Her- 
schel’s estimate, the brightness does not exceed 6°7™. 
17 Tauri, or b Pleiadum.) Called Electra. 
19 Tauri, or e Pleiadum.) Called Targeta. 
20 Tauri, or ¢ Pleiadum.) Called Maia. 
21 Tauri, or k Pleiadum.) Called Asterope. 
P. III. 139, or B.64 Tauri.) Piazzi calls this 15 n. Pleiadum, 
upon which supposition the R.A. of the Brit. Cat. requires 
+16’. Upon a recent examination it appeared to be 7th 
mag. 
23 Tauri, or d Pleiadum.) Called Merope. 
24 Tauri, or p Pleiadum.) There are two telescopic stars pre- 
ceding this, the one 3°°5, the other 1°55; both to the north. 
25 y Tauri.) Called Alcyone, brightest of the Pleiades. Double 
according to Piazzi. 
B. 104 Tauri.) Obs. by Bradley. Upon a recent examination 
appeared of the 6th magnitude. See also Hist. Cél, p. 36. 
P.I. 153, or B.105 Tauri.) This is called by Lalande 127 
Mayer, in Hist. Céleste, p. 195; whereas in Mayer’s Cat. 
the R.A. is + 12753.” Decl. +2’ 22”. And upon a re- 
cent inspection, the star appears to be in the spot indicated 
by Mayer. 
27 Tauri, or f Pleiadum.) Called Aiélas. 
28 Tauri, or h Pleiadum.) Called Pleione. According to Herschel’s 
estimate, the brightness does not exceed 6 or 6°7 mag. 
30 Tauri.) In Bode’s Catalogue the Declin. is 9° too great. 
Double. Hers. IIT. 66. ‘¢ Extremely unequal. L.w; S.r. 
Distance 11”.27; inaccurate. Pos. 17°25 n. following.” 
P. 111. 218, or B. 161 Tauri.) Proper motion —0”19 in R.A. 
Double. Piazzi: the other star of 9th mag.; s. following. 
P. 111. 217, or B. 164 Tauri.) Proper motion —0”26 in R.A. 
Nearly in the place assigned to 34 Tauri in the Brit. Cat., 
although it is well ascertained that the planet Herschel was 
the object actually seen by Flamsteed. 
41 Tauri.) Is in Pigott’s list of stars suspected to be variable, 
although he shows pretty clearly that there is no ground 
for the supposition. Piazzi expresses himself merely in two 
words “ fortasse variabilis,” without adducing any obser- 
vations of his own on the point. 
P. {11. 261, or B. 190 Tauri.) Bode’s Declination is nearly 42” 
less than Piazzi, NorEs
