23 Is 112 Tauri. 
30 Is 32 Camelopardalis 
45 “ Oct. 5, 1798. The time of this star, in the observation 
“ of Flamsteed, Vol. II. page 189, is marked : : but it cannot 
“ be much out, as the star seems to be in the place assigned to 
“ it by the British catalogue/ 1 
61. The RA in the Atlas Ccelestis requires a correction of 
-42'. 
Notes to Draco. 
10 Is 87 Ursas. 
12 and 13 Were never observed by Flamsteed, but are in 
La Caille's Catalogue of northern stars. 
14 M. de la Lande says the star is not to be found. See 
Mr. Bode's Ast. Jahr-Buch for 1795, page 198. 
I observed this star in a sweep of the heavens, June 2d, 1788. 
Its brightness was estimated Sept. 11, 1795; Sept. 24, 1796; 
Sept. 30, 1796 ; and Dec. 28, 1798 ; so that, if M. de la Lande 
is sure no cloud intervened when he looked for it, we may sus- 
pect it to be a changeable star. 
1 5 The British catalogue requires -f 30' in RA. 
35 The expression “ 35 — 40 + 41” in my estimation of 
brightness, means that, with the naked eye, 35 is a very little 
brighter than 40 and 41 together, taken as one star. For they 
are so near each other, that the eye alone cannot distinguish 
them from a single star. The British catalogue gives them 3' 
farther asunder than they ought to be according to Flamsteed's 
observation, page 4 63. See also Mr. Bode’s Ast. Jahr-Buch 
for 1785, page 173.
