1 have tried several times, on different fine nights, to procure other measures of 

 this double star ; but although the weather has been particularly favourable, I have 

 not been able to succeed. Is the small star variable ? 



Passy ; April 6, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 



I have been again foiled in my endeavours to measure this double star ; yet the 

 night is beautifully clear. I can distinguish the small star, but under the least 

 illumination it is invisible.
