distances and positions of 380 double and triple stars, &c. 55 
its position 24 0 . 12' sp, and calls the stars 8 and 7.8 magni- 
tudes. The star IV. 40, is called simply Fl. 10 Trianguli (a) 
in the Catalogue of 1782 ; but in the MSS. Journal for that 
year we find this remark, “ My IV. 40, is near 10, It is the 
“ preceding telescopic star of a small triangle, whereof the 
largest is 10 Trianguli." The distance of IV. 40, in 1781, 
was 17". 317. So that if this be the star, its distance must 
have decreased considerably. But when every circumstance 
is equivocal, it is useless to conjecture.
