The distances agree perfectly, but there is something un- 
satisfactory about all the angles, the mean of Mr. Herschei/s 
observations being 45 0 37', and of Mr. South’s 42 0 14', 
while the coincidence of each set with itself, indicates an evi- 
dent bias in the judgment of one or both of the observers, 
from some casual cause. The magnitudes too disagree with 
those of M. Struve, as well as the position.
