These observations, particularly of distance, do not accord so well as might 

 be wished ; the star however is one which presents considerable difficulty : this 

 circumstance must plead their excuse. By allowing all the measures equal weight, 

 I apprehend we shall not err much from the truth, when we give as the 



Mean Result. 

 Position 26° 1' nf{24f Obs.) ; Distance 3".632 (21 Obs.); 



Epoch 1825.20. 

 This star offers not the least evidence of change either in 

 position or distance. The angle of 1782 differs only 31' from 

 that here assigned ; and the distance (2 diameters) for stars 

 of this magnitude may (from centre to centre) amount to 

 about 4". (H.)
