Xo. 708. - 303 Bode AQrAnn = Lala^^de 45582 (6 m.) Included by 

 Schonfeld in his provisional list. He says, '"TJ.N. 6 m. 94 and 97 

 Aquarii ebenso. August, 1869, 5 bis 6 Stufen schwacher als beide 

 und nur 7 m. K"ach unbestimmter Erinnerung 1864 gleich hell niit 

 94 " A.jST. 74-1770 Auch Heis 6 m." It was estimated 6-6 m. at Cor- 

 doba, in 1872 and 1874, and 7m. on the meridian in 1877 {U.N'., 

 p. 310). 6-29 H.P. 



ISo. 709. - 22743 A. 0. AQrAEn = Lala^'de 45610 (7^). Included 

 by Schonfeld in his provisional list. He says, " Wegen sehr verschie- 

 dener Grossenangaben der Cataloge von Schulhof untersucht und Sep- 

 tember 15, 1873 bis Januarv, 1874, um 0^7 zunehmend beobachtet ; 

 im lEittel etwa 7"" 2, rothgelb. A.K". 83, 1981." It is not in -5ir- 

 mingJianHs Catalogue of Red Stars. It is 8 m. in Harding'' s Atlas, and 

 is situated about 40' n.p. 98 Aquarii. At Cordoba it was rated 7'6 

 in j^ovember, 1872, and 7-3 in August, 1877. 



September 5, 1877. I found it equal to the star Lalande 45704 

 (8 m.), (which Kes about 45' «./.). 



No. 710. 8 A^DEOXEDiE. — 5|- Lalande; 6 m. Groombridge ; 5-6 

 Heis; measured 4-92 by Peirce {Harvard Annals, vol. ix). Sir "W. 

 Herschel found 7-8 ,11. It is a red star. In iS'ovember, 1875, I 

 found it slightly brighter than 7 Andromedae ; October 11, 1876, about 

 haK a magnitude less than 7, and slightly brighter than 11 ; JS^ovem- 

 ber3, 1878, half a magnitude less than 7, and a little brighter than 3 ; 

 October 5, 1879, only very slightly, if at all less tban 7 — very reddish, 

 with binocular, slightly brighter than 3 ; October 10, 1879, decidedly 

 less than 7 ; about 0-3 m. — about 0-2 m. brighter than 11 ; September, 

 4, 1883, 8 about three steps less than 7. 



IS'o. 711. i/^ AQUAEn. — Rated 4m. by Ptolemy and Sufi; 6 La- 

 lande; 5 Harding, Argelander, and Heis; 4-8 Gould; 5^ Pranks, 

 October 29, 1877; 5-3 Espin (September 2, 1880). Sir W. Herschel 

 gives the sequence 94 , i//^ , 97. It is included by Schonfeld in his 

 provisional list (Introduction to Zweiter Catalog, von verdnderlichen 

 Sternen, 1875). He says, " Der drei \p Aquarii ist mir seit Jahren 

 als veranderlich ersehienen ; die Periode wird sehr lang sein A.jS". 77, 

 1832." Dr. Gould, however, seems to doubt the variability ( Z7. A., 

 p. 310).

 Groombridge. Not in Heis'' Catalogue; 6m. Greenwich Catalogue.
