to point out ^ 53 ; which he afterwards observed on page 27. 
The stars are so near together that he might easily mistake 
sequens for prcecedens ad austrum. Flamsteed in his obser- 
vations calls 58 3d 67 4th and 70 5th this shews that 
there is no authority for six ^’s. See Mr. Bode’s account of 
the same star in his Jahr-Buch for 1788, page 171. 
71 “ April 5, 1796. 71 Cancri is 15' nearer to 78 and 15' 
“ farther from 68 than it is placed in Atlas.” 
73 and 74 Have not been observed by Flamsteed, nor do 
they exist. How they came to be inserted, does not appear to be 
satisfactorily accounted for by Mr. Bode in his Jahr-Buch for 
1788, page 172. He gives us four observations of 62 and 63 
Cancri; but Flamsteed has thirteen, and they are all perfect 
except the last on page 564. 
Notes to Cepheus. 
15 “ October 25, 1796. 15 Cephei consists of two stars. 
“ Both taken together for one, by the naked eye, give 14 . 15 
“ In the telescope they are 14 -, 15 - 15.” 
18 Has no time in Flamsteed’s observations. “ March 2 6, 
“ 1797. 18 is a very little preceding 19. It is i-§- degree from 
“ 17. The stars 18 , 20 and 19 are in a line which bends a 
“ little at 18 towards the preceding side.” 
Notes to Corona Borealis. 
21 In the British catalogue requires a correction of — 28' 
21" in time of RA and — 14' 55" in PD. In the place where 
it is marked in Atlas, according to the erroneous catalogue, is 
no star ; but very unaccountably it is also marked in its right 
place in the same Atlas. Flamsteed has four complete obser-
