 rendered much more distinct by a moderate one.

This star appears subject to no change of position, as the 

 angle of 1783 (22° 33' nj) differs only 2' from the present. 

 An excess of i".64 in the present over the earlier measure 

 of distance is not sufficient to authorize any positive con- 

 clusion. ( H. )
