Observed on the meridian with 413 ; stars perfectly round : a black division be- 
tween them seen distinctly. The measures I consider good, and were gotten with 
less difficulty than either of the preceding sets. Evening very favourable ; stars 
unusually steady.

Observed when a few minutes east of the meridian with 413 ; stars at times well 
defined : light clouds and extreme unsteadiness, render it impossible for me to 
procure measures of distance, nor can any observations of A, or B, with the more 
distant star C, be obtained.
