This star is also double, of the 4th class, an extremely faint star preceding it, at 

 about 70° south. No measures of it can be obtained. The dew is so intolerably 

 troublesome, that I am obliged to discontinue the observations ; and I do it with 

 the greatest reluctance, for the night is unusually fine.

 The position here assigned, differs only o** 3' from Sir W. 

 Herschel's measure in 1783 ; nor does the distance appear 

 to have sustained any material alteration. (H.)
