Note N. 234 — SECTION XXXVI.

Note 234, p. 405. The mean results of MM. Argelander, Otto Struve, and Luhndahl for stars in the northern hemisphere and the epoch 1790, places the point to which the sun is tending in 259° 5ʹ of right ascension and 55° 23ʹ of north polar distance. Mr. Gallaway computed from stars in the southern hemisphere, at the same epoch, the point to have been in 260° 1ʹ right ascension and 55° 37ʹ north polar distance, results nearly identical, though from very different data.
