15 minutes west of the meridian.

Mean Result. 
Position 22 0 47' sf (15 Obs.) ; Epoch 1825.15 ; 
Distance 30 ".536 (10 Obs. ) ; Epoch 1825.27. 
The measures of 1783 are, Position 19 0 54' sf; Distance 
35 ,, .62. The difference of Position 2 0 53' is not material, con- 
sidering the difficulty of the star ; but a diminution of distance 
to the extent of 5 // .i deserves notice, because the microme- 
trical error of the earlier observations would tend to produce 
an apparent increase. (H.)
