It was found impossible to observe the selected star to-night, because of the vicinity of the moon, a slight haze, and its apparently lesser magnitude 

 than is assigned in Bessel s Zones. It would bear no illumination whatever, and could scarcely have exceeded the 10th magnitude. J. M. G.

The remarks of last night are applicable to this, and the haze is somewhat greater. I do not think the star can exceed the 10th or llth magnitude. 

 Efl orts to measure its distance from Mars proved wholly ineffectual. J. M. G.
