y Leonis continued. 
There can be no doubt of the motion of y Leonis, though 
it is probably less rapid than supposed by Sir W. H. That 
no mistake in the quadrant (nf for sf) was made in the ob- 
servations made in the years 1782-3, is proved by the dia- 
grams made at the time, in which the small star is placed on 
the same side of the parallel (i. e. north) with the distant stars 
C and D. The mean annual motion from the most distant 
observations comes out -|- o°.3o, direct, or in the direction 
nf sp.

distance remains nearly as it was.
