Observed when on the meridian : the small star bears only a very feeble illumin- 

 ation. This set of measures was taken inadvertently; I had omitted to note the 

 star as observed, in the earlier part of the evening.

Sept. 28,1783. Position iH^'o' sp; Dist. 1' 4i".5, being 

 a change of 1° 3' in position and + 7*- 5 ^^ distance ; but this 

 last quantity, for the reasons already given, cannot be relied 

 on. There is therefore no reason to presume motion in 

 these stars. (H.)
