Epoch 1825.76. 



The observation of 1781 makes the position of this star 

 9® 42' sp, and its distance 12" 5'" " exactly measured.'' The 

 change in position is not considerable ; but an increase of 

 2".6 in distance, or more than a sixth, is rather too much to 

 be attributed to errors of observation. (H.)
