with a Telefeope only of one foot we difcerned him eafily enough, 
and foiind^that he had paffeci 45'. minutes beyond the moft Nor- 
thern ftar of the Head of tatiru^, and that he muft have toucb't it 
by his Souiheralimb ; as alfo that he was diftant one degree and 
43Cfrom the Star that was neareft to tliat toward the South. This 
place being transferi:ed. upon the Map pf the fixt ftars^ we found, 
i;bat he was at i .deg. and 30'. of Gemmi^m the Noi^thern Latit. of 
7 deg. 44'. 
Signor &#;^i,havifig confidered thefe two ftars,obferved, thu 
the fecDnd is not lefs bright than.the iirft ; and yet that Bayerus 
hath not marked it, who hath made an exad enumeration of the 
Stars that niaiy eafily be feen with the naked eye ; and that at firft 
light it feems^that iycho hath left it out in his Catalogue. For he 
puts 4 ftars in the place he calls m qmdrHatero tervicis^ ;andhe 
fpeaks not of this which is the 5th, and maketh with the other 
four an irregular pentagone. 'Tis true,that befides thefe 4 ftars^ 
after he hath marked 1 3 others of them, he puts yet one by it feif 
for the laft,v/hich he calls in qmdriUtero colli pr^cedem ) as if, be- 
lides theiirft quadrilateral, there were yet another in the Neck of 
1mru4. Mean time there is in this place but 5 ftars of the 5th 
iiiagnimde, which make not a quadrilateral figiire;but aj^entagonej 
as I was juft now fay ing. 
This omiffion ofBdyer^j and the denomination, w^hich "Xyck 
ufeth to denote thefe Stars, which fuits not with the nuujber nor 
the configuration that now appears,do admlnifler caufe to doubt, 
whether tlie Star in queftion be not one of thofe that appear from 
time to time-as there are two in tlie conftellation of the Svem.^d 
another in the neck of the Whale. We fliall particularly take 
heed of this place of the Heavens,to clear up this doubt. 
'Jprila.h. 8. in -the even, Signor Caffim^ having obftrved the 
Comet with a Telefeope of one foot.which difcovered 5 degrees, 
found,that he was ("wo degrees and an half diftant from themoft 
Northern ftar of Taurim, ; and one degree from the ftar of the 
Ear, marked 9 by Bayerm, and by fycho called fequentis /ate0 
Bored. . ■ 
Two I ines drawn from the moft Northern ftar of Tkm^, one to 
the Gomet,the other to the Star that is wanting in Bdyerm, madea 
right angle ; and - the diftance of the Comet to this angle ^^^as 
double to that,which is between thefe two Stars.This place tranf- 
ferred upon the Map of the feed Stars, fellon 2 degrees aficT^S' 
of Gemini M the Northern latit. of 6. deg. and 40'.
