This star has undergone a change of position so consider- 
able, as to entitle it provisionally to a place among the binary 
or connected stars. At the Epoch 1782.87, an observation 
of Sir W. Herschel, noted as “ very exact,” makes the 
position 77 0 24' sf. The change is — io° 30' in 4P.72, 
giving an .annual motion of — 01252, in the direction np sf, 
or retrograde. This star therefore merits the assiduous 
attention of astronomers. (H.)
