These observations corroborate the motion ascribed to 
5 Lyrae. The change of position in 3.11 years amounts to 
— — o° 45'. Calculating on the presumed angular motion 
— o°.325, it should have been — 1° o'. The difference is 
nearly insensible.

The night being unusually fine, the instrument was placed 
upon this star when on the meridian : it was examined by 
Mons r . Gambart (Director of the Royal Observatory at Mar- 
seilles) and also by myself, with 181, 327, 512 and 787. Both
