Sir W. Herschei/s Obs. in the Catalogue of 1785, are, 
Position 39 0 54' np ; 1783.14. Distance 29" .90 ; 1782.99. 
Mr. Struve, (Dorpat Obs. iii. 361.) makes the Position 
3j°.6'np; 1821.13. 
In a MS. Observation of Feb. 8,1782, the small star is 
called deep garnet ; in another of Dec. 28, 1782, bluish ; and 
in a third, dated March 12, 1785, we have large red ; small 
blue ; fine colours. Are the colours of the stars liable to 
change as well as the intensity of their light ? There is no 
impossibility in this, and the point merits attention. This 
star therefore should be watched. The position and distance 
are unchanged.
