Mean Result. 



Position 40° ii' np (20 Obs.) ; Distance 36".86i (20 Obs.); 



Epoch 1825.22. 



In 1781 the position was 38° 19' np ; the distance 4o".75o 

 " pretty exact." The distance is too large to be fully relied 

 on ; but the agreement of positions within 2° shows that the 

 star has undergone no notable change. ( H. )
