The measures of this star are attended with the utmost 
difficulty. The night at times tolerably good. 
Mean. 
Position 51 0 19 np ; Distance 2," .39% ; Epoch 1823.70. 
1821.92; Position 47 0 42' np; Struve, Dorp. iii. 142; by a mean of three 
measures. 
The two sets of angles taken on Aug. 14 and Oct. 9 re- 
spectively, differ so considerably, that it is not improbable one 
ought to be rejected ; if so, it should be that of Oct. 9. This 
is corroborated by a MS. measure of Sir W. Herschel in 
1802, which makes it 42 0 2 6' np. The great difficulty of the 
measures can alone reconcile these discrepancies.
