Abstract
40 ERIDANI.—Prof. Winnecke measured, in addition to the well-known distant companion of this star, which is affected with nearly the same large proper motion, two small stars which he calls D and E. It would be interesting to ascertain if these stars are fixed, or if they also follow the principal one in its rapid motion through space, and measures taken during the present season may be expected to decide the point.
