II is a common belief that, since ac-
curate star catalogues began to be
made. many stars have disappeared
and not few new ones have come
into existence. While It would not do
to deny absolutely that anything of
the kind has ever happened. 1t is GER
tainly unsafe to assert that It has.

cases where stars are now missing

nation of the original observations,
shows that the place as printed. was
mistake OF some sort which can now
be traced-sometimes in the reduction
OF the observation. and sometimes an
error of the press. In few cases the
star observed was planet uranus,
Neptune, or an asteroid): and in 9th
er cases, the missing star may have
been a temporary star" as. for In

steam engine of ten horsepower. fup-
