comparative Brightness of the Stars. ' 143 
The magnitude, 6m, which he assigned to 34, agrees perfectly 
well with the lustre of the planet, compared with other stars 
which the same author has marked 6m ; and, with his tele- 
scope, he could not have the most distant suspicion of its 
being any other object than a fixed star of about the 6th mag- 
nitude. 
40 “ March 4, 1796. The RA in the Atlas requires a cor- 
“ rection of about -f 20'.” 
55 In the British catalogue, the PD requires — 8'. 
56 The RA in the British catalogue requires — if. 
82 Does not exist. Flamsteed did not observe this star, 
unless we admit a correction of the British catalogue — i° f 
in PD. 
99 Flamsteed has no observation of this star; but, as 
there is one in the heavens, about a degree more north, the 
British catalogue requires probably a correction of — i° in 
PD. 
100 This star is lost. Flamsteed settled its place, page 
369, and the observation seems to be a very good one. 
103 Flamsteed has no observation of this star. How it 
came to be inserted in the British catalogue does not appear. 
I have given it as a double star V, 114, and here also estimated 
its brightness ; but it must be remembered that my estimations 
do not strictly ascertain the place of objects. If, therefore, 103 
does not exist, my double star, as well as the one here estimated, 
must be some star not far from the place assigned to 103 in 
the British catalogue. 
112 Is 23 Aurigae. 
118 The Atlas should be corrected — 30' in RA.
