446 DK. HERSCHEL'S SIXTH CATALOGUE OF THE 



48 Does not exist. FLAMSTEED never observed either of them. 



57 A large star np 57 observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 442, is in its place. It is 57 * 



59 Does not exist. FLAMSTEED never observed it. 



60 I suspect 27 Herculis to be changeable, for it is now 60 . 27 Here, or even 

 27 Here , 60. There is great difference in the weather. 



72 Is much too large for 6m. 



Notes to Ursa major. 



20 There is a very small star about the place of 20, which I can hardly take for 



one of FLAMSTEED'S. It is 16 - -, 20. 20 does not exist in the place where it is 



marked in the Atlas. There is no star but of the 9th mag. within a degree of 



the place. 



21 I think does not exist. There is a star not far from the place where the Atlas 

 has it, but it is much too small. 21 does not exist. I cannot mistake the place. 



34 The star south of 34 observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 439, is in the place. 



35 Is not as laid down in Atlas. 



50 a (Oct. 25, 1795) Appears unusually large 8 h - 20-. When I saw it at 6 h - I 

 thought so immediately. I suspect it to be changeable, or rather am pretty sure it is 

 so. It is as large as /8 Ursse minoris, but that is so much higher that no fair 

 comparison can be made between them. 



Oct. 26, 1795. 50 is not so bright as last night. 



Oct. 28, 1795. It is much less than it was Oct. 26. The place of the moon may 

 possibly influence appearances. 



Nov. 28, 1795. It would not be proper to compare Urs. maj. with e and 17, as 

 they are much lower, but a seems to be remarkably bright. 



75 Has no time in FLAMSTEED'S observations and is misplaced in Atlas. It is but 

 very little following 74, being almost in the same RA with it. 



76 There are two of 76, at a distance of nearly |- from each other. 



77 June 25, 1796, 77 is very bright. July 21, 1796, 77 is decreased. 



78 Is missing; at least is not as marked in Atlas. 78 has no time. In the 



observation of FLAMSTEED in the Atlas, it is placed about 20' of a degree too 

 far East. 



82 Is missing. 



86 The place of 86 is not right in Atlas by many minutes, perhaps 15'. 



Notes to Virgo. 



18 Is lost. 18 does not exist, or is reduced to 9m at least. 18 does not exist. 



19 Is lost ; or, as there are 4 or 5 stars about its place, if it is among them, it is at 

 least reduced to the 10th mag. 19 exists not, or is less than 9m. There are 3 or 

 4 stars near the place, but extremely small. 19 does not exist, or is at least 9m or
