great inequality and closeness of the two stars, single mea- 
sures cannot be regarded as of any weight ; hence no certain 
conclusion can be drawn respecting its motion or rest. The 
distance however seems to have increased materially, as 
5 " -39i is much too great for a star of the first class ; and in 
1 783 the interval between the discs was stated at from 1 to 
diameter, according to the power used. This star should be 
watched: it is said to have a proper motion of o".i 4 per 
annum in R. A. (H.)
