Comparing the angle of position here assigned with that 
given by Sir W. Herschel in 1783, we find a difference of 
only 14'. The distances indeed differ enormously, no less 
than 47", but this has already been sufficiently spoken of 
elsewhere. (H.)

North preceding the brighter star A, and perhaps a little nearer to it than B, is a 
star C of the 12th or 15th magnitudes : and in the lower part of the field is a double 
star of the 4th class ; equal ; each of the same magnitude as the star C. 
Position z= 30 0 ± sp or nf, and distance rz 4o".o ±. 
Measures little else than cautious estimations.
