In 1783 the position of this star is stated by Sir W. Herschel 
to have been 75 0 36' nf. It will remain to be decided by 
future measures whether the difference, 4°9', between this and 
the present angle, arise from a real very slow change in the 
stars themselves, or from error of observation. (H.)
