224? Mr. South's observations of the apparent distances 
No. DCCVIII. R. A. i8 h 52 m ; Decl. i4°4i' N. 
Struve, 599 ; II. 93. 
Double ; 8th and 12 th magnitudes ; small, light blue. 
Passy ; July 24, 1825 : Seven-feet Equatorial. 
The small star is so extremely faint, and bears so feeble an illumination, that a 
little inaccuracy of the results may be suspected. Observed when on the meridian : 
stars very steady. Night remarkably favourable. 
Passy; July 25, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 
8th and 12th, or 13 th magnitudes. 
Position “ 1 9° zg' np | 5 Obs. | Diff. — 6° 55'. Excessively difficult. 
The small star is only visible by glimpses, and then is so extremely indistinct, that 
The small star is pale blue, and is so very obscure, that the measures are exceed- 
ingly precarious. Night fine. 
Passy ; July 28, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 
8 1 and 1 2th magnitudes. 
The night being very favourable and the stars steady, I applied a power of 157 
to procure these observations : little or no advantage however was derived from the 
change : the measures are so extremely difficult, that I have no confidence in the 
accuracy of this, or of any individual series ; the mean however of all, is probably 
not very remote from the truth.
