It would be too tedious, to fet down the whole 
Number or the Obfervations that I have made; and 
therefore I fhall give only enough of them, to {hew 
their Correfpondency with the Yorcmentioned Hy- 
pothecs in the feveral Years, wherein any were 
made of the Stars here recited. When federal Ob- 
Icrvations have been taken of the fame Star, within 
a few Days ot each other 5 I have cither fet down 
tlie mean Refult, or that Oblervation which befl: 
agreed with it, I have likewife commonly chofcn 
thole, that were made near the fame Seafon of the 
^tar, in fuch Stars as gave me the Opportunity of 
making that Choice ; particularly in y ‘Draconis, 
which was generally obferved about the End of 
shigujl or the Beginning of September ; That being 
the ufual Time, when I went to Wanfted on pur- 
pofe to obferve both that , and aifo fome of the 
Stars in the great Bear. But the Weather proving 
cloudy at that Seafon in the Year 1744, prevented 
my making a Cngle Obfervation, either of y T)ra - 
corns, or any other Star, while I was there j which 
is the Caufe of one Vacancy in a Series of 20 fuc- 
ceeding Years, wherein that particular Star had been 
obferved. Such Stars, as were either not vifible in 
the Day-time, towards the Beginning of September, 
or came at fuch Hours of the Night, as would have 
incommoded the Family of the Houfe wherein the 
Inftrument is fixed, were but feldom obferved, after 
I went to refide at Oxford : which is the Reafon, 
why the Series of Obfervations of thofe is fo imperfed* 
as fomerimes to leave a Chafm for feveral Years toge- 
ther. But notwithftanding this, I doubt not, but 
upon the whole they will be found fuiiicienr, to 
fatisfy
