1 he 26th Orionis is much too fmall for the magnitude of 
which it is marked to be, or rather is loft: ; for I can hardly 
take any one of the remaining telefcopic ftars for it. 
£ Leonis in flams te ad’s time was of the 4th ; but is now 
lefs than a ftar of the 5th magnitude.

Stars newly come to be vifible* 
Near Lacerta’s tail-end is a ftar of between the 4th and 5th 
magnitude, not mentioned in flamstead’s catalogue, though 
the 1 ft Lacertse, not far from that place, is recorded. It is fo 
eafy to be ieen with the naked eye, and in a lpot where but 
few ftars of that magnitude are near, that we can hardly ac- 
count for its being omitted if it had been vifible to flam- 
stead. Its colour is pale red. 
The ftar of the 5th magnitude following r Perfei, fuppofed 
to be v removed, is moft likely new, unlefs future obfervation 3 
were to favour the fuppofed motion of this ftar. It is among 
the double ftars of my 4th clafs, fo that it will be eafy to 
detedt its proper motion. 
A very confiderable ftar, not marked by flaMstead, will 
be found near the head of Cepheus. Its right afcenfion in 
time, is about 2' 19" preceding flamstead’s 10th Cephei, 
and it is about 2 ° 20' f more fouth than the fame ftar. It is 
of a very fine deep garnet colour, fuch as the periodical ftar 0 
Ceti.was formerly, and a moft beautiful objedt, efpecially it we 
look for fome time at a white ftar before we turn our telefcope 
to it, fuch as cc Cephei, which is near at hand. 
A confiderable ftar in a direction from the 68th Geminorum 
towards the 6 1 ft: is not to be found in flamstead, its colour 
is red.
