Epoch 1825.61. 

 These observations make it clear that a mistake of 10° (as 

 supposed by Mr. South above) must have been committed 

 in the reading off of the micrometer in 1823. This star must 

 therefore be struck out of the list of Binary stars, as the pre- 

 sent measures compared with that of 1783 present only a 

 difference of o* 57'. This v^ill serve among other instances 

 to show how necessary it is to repeat the measures of double 

 stars on several nights. ( H. )
