DECEMBER 38, 1849. 



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

 than is assigned in Bessi-l's /ones. H would bear no illumination whatever, and could scarcely have exceeded the 10th magnitude. J. M. G. 



DECEMBER 39, 1849. 



The remarks of last ni!>ht arc applicable to this, and the haze is somewhat greater. I do not think the star can exceed the 10th or llth magnitude. 

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