This star was measured by Sir W. Herschel in 1783, and 
1802. His first observation gives 25 0 3' sp for the angle, 
while by the measure of 1802, it appeared to be 34 0 33' sp. 
It is therefore enumerated by him among the stars in which 
a motion is suspected ; but our observations do not confirm 
the suspicion. In the Journal of 1783, his measure is set 
down 1 Rev. + 49 \ — 46 \ ; 49 3 parts, or 19°48 / , being the 
correction for Zero. If we suppose a mistake in reading off, 
and that the true measure were 3 Rev. —-49!. — 46 all 
the observations would agree, as this corresponds to 33 0 27' 
sp; and some peculiarities in the mode of setting down the 
observations of that night, make this not improbable.

The distance in 1783 was two diameters of the large star, 
and in the Journal of 1782, it is mentioned as “ 2d class, far.” 
The distance therefore has undergone no considerable 
change.
