$2 Mr. Herschei/s and Mr. South's observations of the apparent 
from whose mean the angle of 1814 was concluded. The 
second is evidently the erroneous one. 
A connection between these stars cannot be doubted, as 
they have a common proper motion of nearly 2" per annum. 
The distance having diminished almost 3", the apparent orbit 
is evidently elliptic, but the data at present are not suffici- 
ently precise, and the arc embraced not large enough, to 
ground any calculation of its position and elements on. The 
period is probably about 700 years.
