This star has undergone a change of position so consider- 

 able, as to entitle it provisionally to a place among the binary 

 or connected stars. At the Epoch 1782.87, an observation 

 of Sir W. Herschel, noted as " very exact,'' makes the 

 position 77° 24' sf. The change is — 10° 30' in 4iV.'jQ, 

 giving an annual motion of — 0^.252, in the direction np sf 

 or retrograde. This star therefore merits the assiduous 

 attention of astronomers. (H.)
