Position = 75° 46' sf | 5 Obs. [ DifF.= 2" 8'. Excessively difHcult. 



Observed on the meridian, but the small star is so extremely indistinct that no 

 measures of distance can be procured j and the observations of position are very 

 suspicious.

 . Position = 749 i' 5/1 7 Obs. [ DifF. = 5° 2'. Extremely difficult. 



Stars on the meridian; the smaller is very indistinct. Measures taken with the 

 greatest care ; but on account of the unsteadiness of the stars, they perhaps ought 

 not to be considered standard.
