35th Leonis. 
In 1 7 S3 I firft perceived this ftar was miffing; nor was it 
vifible in 17 84 and 1785, even with the tranfit-inftrument.. 
Bayer’s i Leonis, or Tycho’s 16 Leonis. 
It was not vifible in 1 709, nor could I fie it in 1 783. Thi& 
is a different ftar from the i Leonis of the other Catalogues* 
though Tycho’s defcripion of its place is the fame. 
$ Urfae Majoris- 
This ftar is fufpe£ted to change in brightnefs (fee Long’s 
Aftronomy), on account of its being marked by Tycho* 
Prince of Hesse, &e. of the 2d magnitude ^ while Hevelius* 
Bradley, and others, have it of the 3d. At prefent, and 
for thefe three years pail, it appears as a bright 4th magnitude* 
being rather Ids than *, equal to and rather brighter than m. 
JDraconis. 
n Virginis. 
This ftar is fuppofed to be variable, becaufe Flamsteed* 
on the 27th of January, 1680, fays he could not fee it. He- 
obferved it May 12, 1677* and fome years afterwards, fince it 
is in his Catalogue. 1 examined it frequently in 1784 and: 
1785* without perceiving the leaft change, being of the 6th 
magnitude, lefs than c, and rather brighter than a ftar three 
degrees lower in a right line with c and n Virginis. 
Bayer's.
