COMPARATIVE BRIGHTNESS OF THE STARS. 421 



Notes to Hydra. 



8 There is but one star, which if it be 31 Monocerotis, then 8 is not there. 

 FLAMSTEED never observed it. 



36 Is not in the place where it is marked in Atlas. The time in FLAMSTEED'S 

 observations is marked : : 



43 Is hardly visible in my small telescope. -1 Crateris - - 43 . Dec. 15, 1795, 

 it is 43 Hydrse . 1 Crateris, but now (Jan. 26, 1797) it is 1 Crateris - - 43 Hydra. 

 I suppose 43 to be changeable. 



Notes to Hydra et Crater. 

 1 See note to 43 Hydrse, above. 



22 I cannot see 22 in the place where FLAMSTEED has given it, but 1 above is a 

 star which I suppose is it ; calling that, therefore, 22, it is 23 . 22. 



Notes to Leo minor. 



12 Near 12 is a star observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 438. 12 wants a correction 

 + in EA. 



17 Kequires -10' in PD. 



22 Is not to be seen. 23 -, 24 - 22. There is a star pointed out by 23 and 24 

 which may be 22, but then its situation is faulty about 30', being too far from 28. 



32 The star north of 32 observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 220, is in the place. 



41 54 54, /3 Leonis, and the star in Leo minor's tail-end, 41 Leo minor, are in 

 succession of magnitude. 



49 Is a very small star, and a much larger between 49 and 60 Leonis major is not 

 down in catalogue and Atlas. 



Notes to Pisces. 



1 Which has the time " circiter" in FLAMSTEED seems to be placed in Atlas and 

 in the catalogue a little later than it should be ; perhaps 5' or 6' of space. 



40 ; 39 A larger star than either is 1 4' towards a Androm. If this was mistaken 



for 39 perhaps it might give rise to the supposition of the loss of 40. 40 is 



not lost. 



48 Has no time. In the heavens it seems to be nearly in the place where the 



catalogue gives it. -48 -, 49. The observation 48 . 49, Jan. 1, 1796, is probably 



owing to a mistake of the star, as there is one nearly equal to 48 near it which is not 

 in FLAMSTEED'S catalogue nor Atlas. 



50 52 56 Either 50 or 52 is wanting. By 46 it is 52 that is wanting ; 56 is 

 wanting. [Note by W. H. : "As it appears by Index that 50 and 55 have no 

 observations, put 52 and 56 for them."] 



59 FLAMSTEED has no observation of 59, but there is a star in the place where the 

 catalogue gives it.
