( M ) : 
Having thus found the Maximum , or what the great- 
eft Alteration of Declination would be in a Star pla- 
ced in the Pole of the Ecliptick, I will now deduce 
from it (according to the foregoing Hypothefis) the 
Alteration of Declination in one or two Star?, at fuch 
times as they were actually obferved, in order to fee 
how the Hypothefis will correfpond with the Pheno- 
mena through all the Parts of the Year. 
It would be too tedious to fet down the whole Se- 
ries of my Obfervations ^ I will therefore make Choice 
only of fuch as are moft proper for my prefent Pur- 
pofe, and will begin with thofe of y 'Draconis. 
This Star appeared fartheft North about September 
7th, 1717, as it ought to have done according to my 
Hypothecs. The following Table fhews how much 
more Southerly the Star was found to be by Obfervati- 
on in feveral Parts of the Year, and likewifehow much 
more Southerly it ought to be according to the Hy- 
pothefis.
