Abstract
μ DORADÛS. — This star, which was called a fifth magnitude by Lacaille at the end of 1751, and a sixth by Brisbane, was observed by Moesta from February, 1860, to January, 1861, of 8.9m. or 9m. only. Perhaps one of our southern readers will put upon record the actual magnitude of this star, the period of which, as Moesta remarked, would appear to he one of considerable length. Position for 1877.0 in R.A. 5h. 5m. 52s., N.P.D., 151° 58′.
