Mean Result. 
Position 40° 40' sf (32 Obs.); Distance i".405 (20 Obs.); 
Epoch 1826.18. 
Our former observations gave 37° 8' sf for the position of 
this double star, Epoch 1823.13 ; offering a difference of more 
than s* degrees with the present determination ; but the 
observations are attended with so much difficulty, that no 
positive conclusion can be formed relative to the rest or 
motion of this star : the first memoir contained no observa- 
tions of distance.
