Double; 10th and 12th, or 15th magnitudes. 
Passy ; January 2, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 
Position = 66° 30' sf ; single observation. Excessively difficult. 
These stars are so very faint, that measures entitled to any confidence cannot be 
obtained.

Observed when on the meridian. Night very fine ; but the measures, particu- 
larly those of distance, are so excessively difficult, that I fear they must be consi- 
dered as liable to some inaccuracy.

Measures little better than guesses. The fog is now become so dense, that to 
persevere in observing, is impossible. 
Mean Result. 
Position 67 0 30' sf (11 Obs.) ; Epoch 1825.04 ; 
Distance 22".9oo+(3 Obs.); Epoch 1825.05. 
The angle, Feb. 16, 1783, was 6 i° 36 ' sf, differing 5 0 34" 
from the present, being a change of -J-o°.i32 per annum. 
The distance at the period above specified was 22". 60, agree- 
ing very exactly with the present. Future observations must 
decide on the reality of the motion here indicated. (H.)
