Observed on the meridian. Stars steady, yet the measures are unsatisfactory : the 
small one is pale blue, and does not bear a good illumination.

Sir W. Herschel’s measures of this star stand as follows : 
1782.77 37 0 15' np. Mean of two measures. 
1802.76 44° 45' np. 
This star then appears to be subject to a slow motion, 
amounting to about -j- o°.148 per annum; but the data are 
too precarious to speak with certainty. (H.)
