conis in Right Afcenfion, being the 3 ytli Camelo - 
pardali Hevel. in the British Catalogue. Mr. Flam - 
fieed , indeed, has not given the Right Afcenfion of 
this Star j but that being neceffary to be known, 
in order to compute the Change of its Declination 
arifing from the Preceflion of the Equinox; I com- 
pared the Time of its Tranfit over the Meridian, 
with that of fome other Stars near the fame Pa- 
rallel; whereby I found, that its Right Afcenfion 
was 8>°. 54/i. at the Beginning of the Year 1737. 
This fmall Star was compared with the fame 
Point of the Limb of my Se&or, as y Draconis ; and 
the fecond Column, in the following Table, fhews 
how many Seconds it was found to be South of that 
Point, at the time of each refpeftive Obfervation. 
The other -Columns contain, as in the foregoing 
Tabic, the Equations that are neceffary to find, what 
its mean Difianee from the fame Point would have 
been on the 27th Day of March 172 7, which is 
exhibited in the iaft Column. The whole Number 
of my Oblcrvations of this Star did not much ex- 
ceed forty j the greateft Part of which were made 
before the Year 1730; in fome of the following 
Years none were taken; and only a fingle one in 
any other, except in 1739* However, their Corre- 
l'pondency teems fufficicnt to evince the Truth of 
the Hypothefis : for if the Mean of thefe, contain'd 
in the Table, be taken, not one, among the reft of 
the Obferyations, will differ from it more than 2".
