Mean Result. 



Position 44° 42' sp ; Epoch 1824.38 ; Distance 5".8i2 ; 

 Epoch 1824.02. 



The angle of 1781 (35" 33' sp), is declared in the MS. ob- 

 servation to be too small by 6** or S° ; and if we suppose the 

 mean (7°) to be the actual error, the corrected angle 42** 33' 

 agrees well enough with the present ; so that no change need 

 be presumed in this star. (H^)

The position of 1783, 8° 24' np, is called a small angle. It 

 is doubtful therefore whether to ascribe the apparent motion 

 of + 5° 20', or + o°.i3o per annum to a real change in the 

 Stars, or to error of observation. (H.) ,
