422 DE. HERSCHEL'S FIFTH CATALOGUE OF THE 



70 Does not exist. 70 is a very small star. FLAMSTEED observed it, p. 406. 



71 Is so small that it may, perhaps, not be FLAMSTEED'S star, but there is no other. 



72 A star between 72 and 78, observed by FLAMSTEED, pp. 149, 180, is in its place. 

 It is = 72 nearly. 



104 Is 8 lower than 1 Arietis (which does not exist) is marked ; perhaps it was by 

 mistake placed 8 more north and called 1 Arietis. 



108 Does not exist, or is invisible. -There is a large star l from 6 Arietis and 

 2| from 107, not in Atlas. -108 does not exist. 109 is just 3 south of it and is, 

 perhaps, the same. On p. 332 of FLAMSTEED'S observations the number is cast up 

 3 wrong, which has produced 108 Pise. The observation belongs to 109. 



Notes to Sagittarius. 



I FLAMSTEED has no observation of 1, but there is a star exactly in the place 

 where 1 is marked in the Atlas. 



8 Does not exist. There is a small star at rectangles to 17 15 13 towards the 

 place where 8 is marked in the Atlas, but it is much too near 13 to be 8. 



I 1 Does not exist. 



12 The RA of 12 requires a correction of about 1 minus, for in the place where 12 

 is marked in Atlas is no star, but 1 before there is one which answers to it. 



14 The star observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 171, is in its place ; it is lj S. of 14. 



181 see many small stars north of 19, but cannot see 18 south of it. 18 is 

 not in the place assigned by FLAMSTEED'S catalogue, but about 1 more in RA is a 

 star which is probably the one intended. It was observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 115. 



23 24 The star between 25 and 26 north of them observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 374, 

 is in its place. 23 does not exist. There is a star that answers pretty well to 23. 

 It is a little farther from 25 than it is laid down in Atlas. 24 should be nearer to 25 

 than in Atlas. The observation of FLAMSTEED, p. 532, gives it right. 



53 Is double, and I cannot say which is FLAMSTEED'S star. 



Notes to Ursa minor. 



1 appears uncommonly bright. -The pole star seems to be decreased, or ft is 



increased. The place of the moon may possibly influence appearances -a , ft The 



night is not favourable. Very clear, a. - ft. 



2 Is not as in Atlas, or rather it exists not. FLAMSTEED observed a star, 



pp. 213, 214, 215, which has been misplaced and called 2 Ursa minor. It should be 

 2 further from 1, and it is in the place where it was observed. 



4 By FLAMSTEED'S observation the RA of 4 should be - 3 50' in time ; but 

 without a fixed instrument I cannot perceive that 4 is misplaced, being so near 

 the pole. 



8 Either exists not, or is at least not in the place marked in Atlas. 8 is
