164 Mr. Good?, ic ice’s Obfervations of anew Variable Star, 
and f 3 of between the fourth and third. I have, however,, 
fome doubts whether the variation of this ftar does net entirely 
ceafe or become lefs vifible in certain years. Thefe doubts arife- 
from fome obfervations of Cassini in Phil. Tranf. N° 73, 
p. 2198. where I find that in obferving the new Har, which 
then appeared near the beak of the Swan, he compared it very 
frequently for upwards of a month to (3 and y Lyrae, yet 
without perceiving, or even fufpe&ing, that (3 was variable,, 
though it w r as eafy for him to have perceived it, if the varia- 
tion had then been even lefs than it is now. 
lam, &c,
