There seems a sensible change of position in this star. In 

 1783 (Feb. 19) its angle was 16° 24' sp. The change 

 amounts to 5° 2' in the direction sp w/ or + » i* ^' to + o°.i23 

 per annum. An increase also of i".7 in distance has hap- 

 pened. As the star is an easy one to measure in favourable 

 w^eather, there is much probability that these changes are 

 owing to real motions. (H.) ■"' ^'^*
