Mean Result. 
Position ii° i7 # sf (42 Obs.); Distance 2". 71 6 (21 Obs.) ; 
Epoch 1825.30. 
This position, compared with that of 1822.44, gives a 
motion of -|- 2 0 53'. The supposition of an annual motion of 
-j- o°.30, assigned in the former Paper, would give -f- o°.54'. 
The present observations therefore confirm this motion fully 
in point of reality, and direction, but indicate an acceleration 
which (considering the number of observations) may have 
some claims to probability. The distances disagree more 
than might have been expected. (H.)
