own results on the occasion last referred to. The relative situ- 
ation of the stars known to the early observers appears to be 
substantially unchanged. For A and embowski finds : 
P==300°°7 D=11'*12 (1876-7) 
By comparing the measures of Sir John Herschel and Sir 
James South, with the recent observations of Baron Dembowski; 
there seems to be an error in Herschel’s distance of A F;— 
==28°2 —=36°"52 (1823°6) 
28-2 35°98 (1876-7) 
The relation of the closer stars can be determined only after 
a series of carefully repeated measures, but it is at least proba- 
ble that they will be found to have some physical connection.
