Position of AB ; 85° 39' sp ; Distance 2 2". 674 ; Epoch 1823.74. 
AC; 55 15 5/; i # 22".52o; 1823.74. 
According to Piazzi the difference of Right Ascensions of 
the two close stars in 1800 was 13". 3, and that of their de- 
clinations 16", which would give 57 0 2' sp only for their angle 
of position, and i9".o72 for the distance ; but this determi- 
nation most probably is erroneous.
