April 14, 1789. A confiderable, bright , round nebula ; 
ing a large place in the middle of nearly an equal brightnefs , but 
lefs bright towards the margin (a). 
This feems rather to approach to the planetary fort. 
March 5, 1790. A pretty confiderable Jtar of the yth or 10 th 
magnitude , vfibly affected with very faint nebulofty of little 
extent , all around. A power of 300 Jhewed the nebulofty of 
greater extent (*)• . 
The connexion is not to be doubted. 
March 19, 1790. A very bright nucleus, with a f mall, very 
faint chevelure , exadlly round. In a low ftuation , where the 
cbevelure could hardly be feen , /A/j 0^/V# would put on the appear- 
ance of an ill- defined, planetary nebula , of 6, 8 , or io // diame- 
ter (c). 
November 13, 1790. A mofi fingular phenomenon ! A far of 
about the 8 th magnitude , with a faint luminous atmofphere , a/' a 
circular form , of about f in diameter. "The / 'tar is perfectly 
in the center , the atmofphere is fo diluted, faint, and equal 
throughout, that there can be no furmife of its confifiing of fiars ; 
nor can there be a doubt of the evident connexion between the atmo- 
fphere and the far. Another far not much lefs in brightnefs, and 
m the fame field with the above , was perfectly free from any fuch 
appearance (df 
This laft objedt is fo decifive in every particular, that we 
need not hefitate to admit it as a pattern, from which we are 
authorized to draw the following important confequences.
