196 Mr, South' s observations of the apparent distances 



No. DCLXX. continued. 



Passy ; June 14, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 

 6th and 15th, or 20th magnitudes. * 

 Position = 49° 45' nf \ 2 Obs. | Diff. = 3° 29'. Excessively difficult. 

 The small star will not bear the slightest illumination. No measures of distance 

 can be procured, and these of position are little else than approximations.

Observed on the meridian. Night fine ; but the small star will bear only the most 



feeble illumination.

Sir W. Herschel has no measures of this star. (H.)

From the extreme faintness of the small star, great reliance must not be placed in 

 the accuracy of these measures. Night tolerably good. 



Mean Result. 

 Position 42° 44' sf\ Distance 9' .573 ; Epoch 1825.41.
