on Nebulous Stars . 8 1 
January 17, 1787. A jiar with a pretty Jlrong milky nebu - 
lojity , equally difperfed all around ; the Jlar is of about the <)th 
magnitude . A memorandum to the obfervation fays, that, 
having but juft begun, I fufpedled the glafs to be covered with 
damp , or the eye out of order ; but yet a far of the 10 th or nth 
magnitude , juf north of if, was free from the fame appearance . 
A fecond obfervation calls it one of the mof remarkable pheno- 
mena I ever have J'een , and like my northern planetary nebula 
in its growing fate (a). 
The connexion between the ftar and the milky nebulofity is 
without all doubt. 
November 3, 1787. A bright ftar with faint nebulofity . A 
fecond obfervation mentions the far to be of the <)th magnitude , 
and the faint nebulofity of very little extent (bf 
June 11, 178 7. Sufpe£ied,fiellar. By a fecond obfervation 
it is verified, and called a very fmall far involved in extremely 
faint nebulofity (c). 
November 25, 1788. A far of about the gth magnitude, 
furrounded with very faint milky nebulofity ; other fars of the 
fame fze are perfectly free from that appearance . Lfs than i / in 
diameter . The far is either not round or double (df 
March 23, 1789, A bright, confderably well defined nucleus , 
with a very faint , fmall, round chevelure ( e ). 
The connedion admits of no doubt ; but the objed is not 
perhaps of the fame nature with thofe which I call cloudy ftars®
