1783.32 ; Position 79 0 24' np ; H. Catal. of 1785. 
1802.75 j 22 27 np; H. “ Account of Changes,” &c.” But the identity 
of the star then observed with that of 1783 very 
questionable. 
If the star observed by us be that measured by Sir Wil- 
liam Herschel in 1783, its position has undergone no ma- 
terial change, and the alteration surmised by him is not 
verified ; but of this there are good grounds for doubt, the 
distance being too considerable for a star of the first class, 
and the object altogether being so faint as to be recognised 
with great difficulty.
