These stars are of a light blue colour ; they are very close, bear but very little 
illumination, and are not well defined under sufficient magnifying power, to separate 
their discs completely from each other. The first set of angles taken this evening 
were gotten with 273, but the attempt to observe the distances with that power, was 
altogether ineffectual. The night is very favourable. 
Mean Result. 
Position 4 0 59' nf (15 Obs.) ; Distance i".664 (8 Obs); 
Epoch 1824.58. 
At the Epoch 1783.25 the position of this star was found 
14 0 o' nf. The change in 41.23 years amounts to 9 0 i', being 
at the rate of + °°- 219 direct, or in the direction nf sp. This 
change is too great to arise from mere error of observation ; 
so that there is considerable probability of this turning out a 
binary star, and it ought therefore to be kept in view. (H.)
