may be useful perhaps at some future period, in ascertaining 
the extent of motion to which any of the closer stars of the 
triple sets may be liable.

Measure of A H 
Distance 8 '. 42".o7i, a single measure (5). 
A line drawn through G and A will pass exactly between 
the two stars D and E. 
A line drawn through G and C will bisect F, or perhaps 
will be in contact with the apparently inferior edge of the 
star. 
If the wire pass through A and C the star H will be its 
own diameter, or perhaps diameter and a half, apparently 
below it.
