A considerable change seems to have taken place in the 
position of these stars since 1783, in which year the measures 
were : Position 64 0 12' sf; Distance 44".93* The difference, 
6° 1 5', is much more than could be fairly attributable to error 
of observation in a star of the 5th class, except under very 
difficult circumstances. (H.)
