Comparing the angle of position here assigned with that 



given by Sir W. Herschel in 1783, we find a difference of 



only 14'. The distances indeed differ enormously, no less 



than 47", but this has already been sufficiently spoken of 

 elsewhere. (H. )

North preceding the brighter star A, and perhaps a little nearer to it than B, is a 

 starCofthe 12th or 15 th magnitudes : and in the lower part of the field is a doubl« 

 star of the 4th class j equal ; each of the same magnitude as the star C. 



Position = 30° ± sp or nf, and distance = 4o".o ±. 



Measures little else than cautious estimations.
