very well perfuaded, flamstead, who firffc ufed the word 
Comes, meant it only in a figurative fenfe, 
I lhall not fail to take the firft opportunity of looking out 
for thofe of Mr. mayer’s double-ftars which I have not in 
my catalogue, amounting to 3 1 ; and alfo for one I find men- 
tioned in La Connotjfance dcs Limps for 1783, dil'covered by Mr. 
messier.
