254 Mr. South’s observations of the apparent distances 
No. DCCXLVII. continued. 
Measures of B C. 
Passy ; August 1, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equitorial. 
When the eye is directed to another part of the field, the southern star (B) is seen 
also double ; but its small star is so extremely faint, that to obtain any thing like 
measures of accuracy is impossible. 
Position — i7°.o' ± nf; Distance “ 13 seconds (by estimation). 
Passy; September 2 1825 ; Seven-feet Equitorial. 
The star B is certainly double of the 2d or 3d class ; but its small star, which is 
n f, is so excessively obscure, that no observations of it can be procured. Night fine ; 
stars steady. 
Mean Result. 
A B. Position 6i° 40' 5/(10 Obs.) ; Epoch 1825.59 ; 
Distance 30". 745 (15 Obs); Epoch 1825.62.
