240 Dr. Herschel on the Direction of the 
The 8th by Capella and Procyon, south of the following hand 
of Hercules. The 9th by Lyra and Procyon, preceding the 
following shoulder of Hercules. And the 10th is made by 
Aldebaran and Procyon, in the breast of Hercules. 
The following Table gives the calculated situation of these 
ten intersections in right ascension and north polar distance.

We might rest satisfied with having shown that the paral- 
lactic effect of which we are in search is plainly to be per- 
ceived in the motion of the brightest stars ; however, by way 
of further confirmation, we may take in some large stars of 
the next order, in whose motions evident marks of the in- 
fluence of parallax may likewise be perceived. When the 
intersections made by their proper motions and the arches in 
which the stars of the first magnitude are moving, are exa- 
mined, we find no less than fifteen which unite with the former 
ten, in pointing out the same part of the heavens as a paral- 
lactic center. It will be sufficient only to mention the opposite
