The first set of observations of position taken this evening were obtained with 
S79 ; it being however insufficient to separate distinctly the two stars A and B, the 
subsequent measures were procured with 273 ; the star C bears a very tolerable 
illumination ; but the night having become unfavourable, no measures of AB can

Observed with 181. The close star B is distinctly seen, but no measures of it can 
be obtained, in consequence of extreme unsteadiness of the stars.

The position of the distant star C was stated in 1782 at 
io° 37' sf, and in 1804 at 18 0 57' sf. It is to be presumed 
that some mistake had been committed in the earlier mea- 
sure. (H.)
