Observed on the meridian. Stars steady, yet the measures are unsatisfactory : the 

 small one is pale blue, and does not bear a good illumination.

 Sir W. Herschel's measures of this star stand as follows : 



1782.77 37° 15' n p. Mean of tv^o measures. 



1802.76 44° 45' np. 



This star then appears to be subject to a slow motion, 

 amounting to about + o°.i48 per annum ; but the data are 

 too precarious to speak with certainty. (H.)
