6th and 12th magnitudes. 
Position = 59 0 20' nf ± ; single observation. 
The small star will not bear the slightest illumination ; measures of distance 
impracticable.

G\ and 12 th magnitudes. 
Distances 1' 59"-309± | 5 Obs. | Diff. =r i".370. Excessively difficult. 
The star E is also double of the 5th class ; but its smaller star, which is south 
preceding, is so extremely faint, that although the night is unusually fine, I cannot 
obtain even approximate measures of it.
