it6 Mr. South* s observations of the apparent distances 



No. DCXXXV. R. A. i9> 2™; Decl. 1° 15' S. 



Nova; 

 Double ; 10th and 11th magnitudes. 



Passy ; May 5, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 



Position =: 6° 39' n p 5 Obs. j DifF. = 2" 47' 7 Extremely difficult. 

 Distance = 23".745 5 Obs. | DifF. = o".865 j Excessively difficult. 



Measures perhaps a little suspicious, although taken with great care. Stars are 



tolerably steady, but will scarcely bear the slightest illumination. 



Passy ; May 9, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 

 10th and 1 2th magnitudes. 



Position = 7° 30' n p 1 5 Obs. 

 Distance =: 23".6oi | 5 Obs. 



Eiff. = i '.2^2} Excessively difficult. 



These results were procured under the most favourable circumstances ; the stars 

 were on the meridian, and very steady; yet ffom the extreme faintness of the 

 smaller star, some inaccuracy may be apprehended. 



Mean Result. 

 Position 7'*4'w/>; Distance 2 3". 673 ; Epoch 1825.34.

 Stars very steady ; but the night so hazy, that satisfactory measures of distance 



fcanhot be obtained.
