Mean Result. 
Position 16 0 56' sp (18 Obs.) ; Distance i5".o66(i5 Obs.); 
Epoch 1826.10. 
By observations made in Blackman-street the position of 
.this double star was 17 0 21 9 sp; Distance 1 5". 966 (errone- 
ously printed i6".988); Epoch 1823.33 ; the former differ- 
ing very little, but the latter more than might be expected 
from the present determinations ; what is the cause of the 
discrepancy future observations must decide.
