354 ^^' SouTH''s observations of the apparent distances 



No. DCCXLVII. continued. 



Measures of B C. 



Passy ; August 1, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equitorial. 



When the eye is directed to another part of the field, the southern star (B) is seen 

 also double ; but its small star is so extremely faint, that to obtain any thing like 

 measures of accuracy is impossible. 



Position = i7°,o' ± nf; Distance =13 seconds (by estimation). 



Passy ; September 2 1825 ; Seven-feet Equitorial. 



The star B is certainly double of the 2d or 3d class ; but its small star, which is 

 nf, is so excessively obscure, that no observations of it can be procured. Night fine ; 

 stars steady. 



Mean Result. 



A B. Position 61° 40' sf [10 Obs.) ; Epoch 1825.59 ; 



Distance 30". 745 (i5 Obs); Epoch 1825.62. 



B C. Position 17° ± n/j Distance 13 seconds. (Each by estimation.)
