<r Saglttarii is larger than 3 , y, and e, though marked of an 
inferior magnitude. 
c Canis majoris is larger than ( 3 , and yet is marked to be iefs. 
% Serpentis is fo much larger than that they certainly 
fiiould not have been put in the fame order of magnitude. 
k Serpentarii is larger than y and e, though marked to be 
of a lefs magnitude than either. 
(3 Equulei is fo much lefs than a that it could hardly delea ve 
to be put in the fame clafs. 
S Delphini is larger than e, though placed in an inferior 
order. 
e Bootis is fo much larger than £* that it fhould not be put 
into the fame order. 
3 Sagittae is larger than a and ( 3 , though placed in a lower 
order of magnitude. 
d Urfae majoris is lefs than either e, £*, or though it is 
marked of a luperior order of magnitude. Befides, it is evi~. 
dently vifiblc, that 0 cannot be intitled to more than the 4th 
magnitude, or at moff to between the 4th and 3d : on the 
contrary, e, £* and yj , fhould be of the 2d, or at lead between 
the 2d and 3d ; all which is very different from flamstead’s 
account of thofe remarkable ffars. 
a Urfae majoris is lefs than any ffar marked of the fame 
magnitude, and cannot have the lead; pretenfion to be called a 
flar of between the iff and 2d, as flamstead has marked it, 
and as I make no doubt it was in his time. 
The iff and 2d Hydne are noted by flamstead as being 
of the 4th magnitude, whereas they now are only of the 8th 
or 9th. It is remarkable, that the 30th Monocerotis, which 
is fituated between them, has retained the order afhgncd to it
