COMPARATIVE BRIGHTNESS OF THE STARS. 447 



10m. 19 exists not, but there is a star sp 20 about the same distance as 19 is 



marked np. 



22 Is in its place and 7m. 22 23 are both either 7 or 7 . 8 mag. 22 does not 



exist. The observation 31 , 22, April 9, 1796, can not be right. I mistook very 



probably a star sf 32 and 31 instead of np, as there is such a one. 22 and 23 do 



not exist. FLAMSTEED has no observation of them. There is a pretty considerable 



star near the place of 22. 23 is not to be seen. There is no star that can be 



taken for it. 23 does not exist. There is no star that can be taken for it. 



24 is lost. There is no small star to represent it. 24 does not exist. There is 



no star that can be taken for it. 24 does not exist. FLAMSTEED has no observation 



of it. 



25 By FLAMSTEED'S observations requires 19' in RA and by the heavens it does 

 the same. 



42 Does not exist. There is no star nearer than 1 of any size to the place of 

 42 given in Atlas. FLAMSTEED never observed this star. The star estimated 



April 9, 1796, 27 42 is one of these small stars nearest the place, which is rather 



larger than 2 or 3 others thereabout. 



45 I cannot see 45. There is no star so large as 10 or llm near the place of 45. 

 45 does not exist. FLAMSTEED never observed it. 



52 Does not exist. There is a very small star not far from the place. FLAMSTEED 

 has no observation of 52. 



58 The PD of 58 should be +11'. 58 by FLAMSTEED'S observations requires 

 + 11' in PD and by the heavens it does the same. 



56 58 They are very small stars. 58 is double in my finder. There are two other 

 stars situated like 56 and 58 in Atlas, which were probably taken for them, 

 May 2, 1796, when they were estimated 58 . 56. Not knowing then that 58 wants 

 a correction of PD + ll', occasioned the mistake. 



61 There seems to be a change in the brightness of 61 since last night. 



67 Is of a sparkling bluish white colour : a beautiful star. 



71 A star following 71 observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 194, 478 [sic] is in its place 

 * . 71 59 , * . 71. 



77 . 81 . 88 The three last are very small stars. About the place of 88 there are 

 two nearly equal. I cannot determine which is FLAMSTEED'S star. 



83 The RA of 83 should be +22' by FLAMSTEED'S observations, and it requires the 

 same by the heavens. 



91 Does not exist. 



99 The star nf 99 observed by FLAMSTEED, p. 41, is in its place. It is 108 * 



101 Is misplaced in the British Catalogue : it should be +1 in PD. Then it is 

 20 Bootis -, 101.
