By observations made in Blackman-street the position of 

 this double star was 17° ^1' sp; Distance is". 966 (errone- 

 ously printed i6".988); Epoch 1823.33; the former differ- 

 ing very little, but the latter more than might be expected 

 from the present determinations ; what is the cause of the 

 discrepancy future observations must decide.
