stead, who could not overlook fo confiderable a dar if it had 
been there in his time ; becaufe, being not far from the parallel 
of r and v, both which he has given us, it mud: have palled the 
field of view of his telefcope whenever he obferved them. 
The 108th Pifcium, a dar of the fixth magnitude, near the 
head of Aries is lod. The 107th and 109th, both marked as 
fmaller dars in flamstead’s catalogue, and near the place of 
the 1 08th, are eafily difeovered. 
Two dars of the fixth magnitude, the 73d and 74th Cancri, 
in the fouthern claw, are either both lod, or at lead have un- 
dergone fuch a remarkable change of magnitude, and one of 
them of place, that it is hardly podible to know them any longer. 
The alteration mud evidently appear when we compare them to 
the 8 id and 8 2d Cancri; the former of which, though only 
marked of the 7th magnitude, far outfhines the brighted of 
thofe which may be fnppofed to be the two dars in quedion. 
The 8th Hydras is lod. There is a dar jud by, which I take 
to be the 3rd Monocerotis. If this fhould be the 8th Hydrae, 
and a fmall dar near the latter fhould agree with the place of 
th 3 id Monocerotis, then the magnitudes will be quite con- 
trary to what flaaxstead makes them. There mud, at all 
events, have been a very remarkable change. 
The 26th Cancri is lod. Near this dar is placed the 2 2d of 
the fame condellation, and, as their didance is not much more 
than a quarter of a degree, it requires fixed indruments to 
determine which of the two is the dar wanting : from the 
magnitude, however, I furmife, that the remaining dar is the 
2 2d rather than the 26th. 
The 6zd Orionis is lod ; and a dar near the 54th and 5 id is 
not taken notice of by flamstead. Perhaps the 62d has 
changed place ; if this fhould be the cafe, it mud have a very 
confiderabie motion.
