COMPAEATIVE BRIGHTNESS OP THE STABS. 423 



misplaced in Atlas: there are two small stars about 1 from 7 towards 15: one of 

 them is probably 8. They are equal, 12 . 8 . 8. 



1014 There is a larger star than either 10 or 14, between but following these two, 

 which is not in FLAMSTEED. 



12 Appears two small for 7m. It is 8 or 9m. FLAMSTEED has no observation 

 of 12. 



14 Has no time in FLAMSTEED'S observation, but it seems to be placed very justly 

 in the Atlas. 



15 Eequires PD - 10'. 



16 19 There is a large star between 16 and 19 not in FLAMSTEED. The mistake of 

 Sept. 14, 1795, is owing to the large above-mentioned star. 



18 There are seven stars about the place of 18. FLAMSTEED has no observation 



of 18. 



19 . 20 Sept. 14, 1795, I suppose this to be a mistake of the star. 

 24 Requires + 10' or 2| in RA. 



Notes to Vulpecula. 



Vulpecula in Atlas is laid down so confusedly and erroneously that it is impossible 

 to ascertain the stars without a fixed instrument. 



2 Is misplaced. It requires a correction of | minus in HA and 30' + in PD. 



3 The observation of Sept. 17, 1795, 6-3,3 Cygni does not agree with this 

 3 _ _ 3 Cygni [i.e., of this date, Nov. 3, 1795]. Nov. 15, 1795, 3 - - 3 Cygni. 



7 Requires a correction, near f in RA. 



11 10- -11, but 11 is very small and FLAMSTEED has no observation of it. I 

 suppose therefore that this is not the star which is given in Atlas and catalogue. 



11 is forgot in Atlas. 



13 9 - 10 , 13, Sept. 17, 1795, but 13 is further from 10 and nearer to 14 than it is 

 marked in Atlas. 



12 Is placed too far north in Atlas at least 15' by 12 Sagittse. Large star in 

 the breast near 14-9. 



13 The expression 10 , 13, Sept. 17, 1795, cannot be right; it is 13 - - 10. 

 Dec. 4, 1796, I have my doubts about the expression 10 , 13 used Sept. 17, 1795. I 

 could hardly mistake the star 10 as [? and] there is none in the neighbourhood that 

 exceeds 13. 



14 A large star in Atlas preceding 14 is not in the heavens, nor do I know how it 

 comes into the Atlas, as FLAMSTEED has it nowhere. This constellation must be 

 reviewed again, when it is higher. 



16 A considerable star near 16. 



24 25 A star larger than either, north of 24, observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 64, is in 

 ts place. 

 31 32 Are contrary iu magnitude to what they are in Atlas.
