If this be the same star with II. 58, it must have sustained 
considerable alteration, both in angle and distance ; as in 
1783, its position was 25 0 12' np, and the distance sufficiently 
small to be estimated at if diameter of the large star. This 
may raise a doubt as to its identity, though both Bode and 
Struve agree in making it the same. The star, however, 
should be watched.
