Observed when on the meridian : the small star bears only a very feeble illumin- 
ation. This set of measures was taken inadvertently; I had omitted to note the- 
star as observed, in the earlier part of the evening.

Sept. 28,1783. Position i8°o 'sp; Dist. i' 41". 5, being 
a change of i° 3' in position and «f* 7*. 5 in distance ; but this 
last quantity, for the reasons already given, cannot be relied 
on. There is therefore no reason to presume motion in 
these stars. (H.)
