Changes that happen to the fixed Stars. 225 
contrary to the magnitudes in the observations, where 43 is 
4m, 56 3m. 
4 7. “ Sept. 19, 1784, 4.3m/’ Flamsteed's observations 
give no magnitude. 
62, Is larger than 56 and 78, contrary to the catalogue. In 
the observations 36 is 3m. 
63 Is less than 67, contrary to the catalogue. The obser- 
vations give no magnitude of these stars. 
68 Is larger than 70, contrary to the catalogue. In the 
observations 68 is without magnitude, and 70 is 3m and 6m. 
76 Is less than 74, contrary to the catalogue. In the ob- 
servations both stars are marked 6m. 
7 9. “ Sept. 8, 1784, 6. 7m." The observations give no mag- 
nitude. 
86 Is less than 66, contrary to the catalogue, and contrary 
to the observations, where the former is marked 3m, the lat- 
ter 3m, and twice 6m. 
88 Is less than 44, contrary to the catalogue. There are 
no magnitudes of these stars in the observations. It is also 
less than 34 Aquarii, which Flamsteed has observed 3m, 
and hardly larger than 6 Arietis, which he has also observed 
3m. Therefore, if the catalogue may be trusted where this 
star is 2m, it must have lost some of its former lustre. But I 
rather suppose that this star, as well as 33 and 34, have been 
overvalued in the catalogue. 
Catalogue and Atlas. 
The letter t, which Flamsteed has annexed to 31 in his 
observations page 37 and 130 should be added.
