DECEMBER 98, 1840. 



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

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



DECEMBER 20, 1840. 



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 1 1th magnitude. 

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