Mean Result. 
Position 71 0 42' sf (20 Obs.) ; Distance 4".258 (15 Obs.); 
Epoch 1824.98. 
The observations of Sir W. Herschel in 1783 and 1802 
give respectively 75 0 30' sf and 6 7 0 4 ' sf for the positions of 
this star. The present position is almost exactly a mean of 
these, which renders it extremely probable that the star is 
subject to no material change. ( H. )
