The small star, which is blue, will bear scarcely the least illumination : the mea- 

 sures are excessively difficult. 



Mean Result. 

 Position 29° 14' sp ; Distance 29".297 ; Epoch 1825.50. 



From an imperfect observation in 1783, which made the 

 position at that time 30° ±sp, it should seem that this star is 

 liable to no material change of position. (H.)
