There is no evidence of any change in the relative situa- 

 tion of these stars. Sir W. Herschel's observations give 

 5° 48' nf for the position, Feb. 26, 1783, and 6° 44' nf on 

 Sept. 1, 1802; neither differing more than 205' from the 

 present position. The distance also remains unaltered. (H.)
