These observations corroborate the motion ascribed to 

 5 Lyrse. The change of position in 3.11 years amounts to 



— 0° 45'. Calculating on the presumed angular motion 



— o**.325, it should have been — 1° o'. The difference is 

 nearly insensible.

The night being unusually fine, the instrument was placed 

 upon this star when on the meridian : it was examined by 

 Mons'. Gambart (Director of the Royal Observatory at Mar- 

 seilles) and also by myself, with 181, 327, 512 and 787. Both
