Position 44°42 / sp ; Epoch 1824.38 ; Distance 5".8i2 ; 
Epoch 1824.02. 
The angle of 1781 (35 0 33' sp), is declared in the MS. ob- 
servation to be too small by 6° or 8° ; and if we suppose the 
mean (7 0 ) to be the actual error, the corrected angle 42 0 33* 
agrees well enough with the present ; so that no change need 
be presumed in this star. (H.)

Mean Result. 
Position 13 0 44' sf or np ; Distance 3".45o ; Epoch 1823.98. 
The position of 1783, 8° 24' np, is called a small angle. It 
is doubtful therefore whether to ascribe the apparent motion 
of + 5° 20', or -j- o°.i30 per annum to a real change in the 
stars, or to error of observation. (H )
