Dec. 1 . — This evening it is very clear, and I not only see 
most clearly a small star in the place indi- 
cated, but also that the star b has a small 
and pretty close comes ! In the annexed 
diagram e and f are the new stars. I am 
not sure of their exact position, but have 
no doubt of their existence. The follow- 
ing are my rough estimations of magni- 
tude : — a, 12*9; b , 12*8; c, 14± ; d, 13*1; e, 13*7 (?) ;. 
f, about — e. 
The above observations were made with an equatorially 
mounted achromatic of 7J inches aperture, constructed by 
Mr. Alvan Clarke, of Boston, U.S.
