As at least three of these stars have some proper motion, I 
have connected a faint star to show hereafter the distribution 
of motion in the large stars.

The 
: nebula in the field 
is very faint and diffused, and the 
bisection not very exact. 
The double star was measured in 
1902.

It is safe to assume that the 10.7 m star is fixed, and all the 
motion in the other. My measures (1877-1907) give for the 
proper motion of 44 Ceti:

The four |3 positions (1877-1911) give for the proper motion 
of 6 Ceti: 
0M50 in I97?3 
Or, omitting the measure of 1877, which is on a single night: 
o"i86 in I9i?4 
This motion from meridian observations seems to be too 
large:
