The star III. 97 is called in Sir W. Herschel’s Catalogue 
for 1785, 54 Hydras, which Bode has altered in his Catalogue 
to 73 Hydras, or 30 Turdi Solitarii On referring to the 
copy of Flamsteed’s Atlas, used by him in his Observations, 
Reviews, &c. ( in which the numbers are affixed to the stars 
in MS. in red ink) the number 54 is found annexed to a star 
corresponding in place (allowance for precession being made) 
with Bode’s 30 Solitarii Turdi. Without deciding therefore 
which number is correct, the identity of the star here mea» 
sured with 30 Turdi Sol. is fully established. His measures 
are, 
i 7 8 3-°3 ; 3 8 ° 1 5' s f ; 11 "-*9 ; H. Catal. of 1785. 
The angle therefore has undergone a change of 8° 25*, and 
the distance a diminution of i".33 5.
