Mean Result, 



Position 40" 40' 5/(32 Obs.); Distance 1^.405 (20 Obs.); 



Epoch 1826.18. 

 Our former observations gave sT 8' sf for the position of 

 this double star. Epoch 1823. is ; offering a difference of more 

 than s\ degrees with the present determination ; but the 

 observations are attended with so much difficulty, that no 

 positive conclusion can be formed relative to the rest or 

 motion of this star : the first memoir contained no observa- 

 tions of distance.
