Should this set favour one series of the former observations more than the other,

either, but would prefer receiving the mean of all, as a final determination. Night 
tolerably clear, and the stars very steady.

Until arranging the work for presentation to the Royal 
Society, I was not aware that the former memoir contained 
the following observations of this double star, made by 
Mr. Herschel and myself. Position io° 6' nf; Distance
