Laftly, I would inform him, that the Star in the 
Centaur which Bipparchus difcribes, as being in his 
time very near the Autumnal Colure, was not of Bayer, 
but certainly 4>, and that, anno ineunte 1 690, its Longitude 
was Scorpio 8^ 43 40^^^ , with South Latitude 27® 59^ 
But the Colure pafling through that Star, by the Pro- 
portion given above, cuts the Ecliptick 13® 20^50’^ 
in Antecedence of the Star, that is in Lihra 25^22' 50''. 
But 25® 22' ^o" give 1827 Years; Wherefore the 
Time this Star was in the Colure was 137 Years 
before Chrift, when Hipparchus flourilhed, and might 
very well obfervo it.
