Position 83 0 15' np ; Distance ^". 6^6 ; Epoch 1824.21. 
When this star was measured, I supposed it to be the star 
whose R. A. in Struve’s Catalogue is given 7 h 54'. 5 ; Decl. 
28° o' N. ; whether it is, or is not 11 Cancri, I cannot say; 
but it is unquestionably synonymous with the double star 
No. 88 of the collection observed by H. and S. and is the star 
observed by Sir W. Herschel. Our former measures were,

The position observed on March 13th, 1824, differs more 
than might be wished with that obtained subsequently ; still 
the favourable circumstances under which the discordant set 
was procured, would not justify their rejection ; allowing all 
equal weight, we have for the
