Abstract
IN the last paper I had the honour of bringing before the Society, I referred to a correspondence which was then pending on the star η, and the attached nebula, in the constellation Argo-Navis. It will be fresh in the minds of many of the members of this Society that authorities, previously quoted, have confirmed the alterations that have been recorded in this object. Mr.E. B. Powell, of Madras, writing to the Royal Astronomical Society some observations on the binary star α Centauri, has a concluding note thus:—“I have to observe that to Mr. Abbott must be ascribed the first publication of the fact that η is no longer in the dense portion of the nebula, where it was seen by Sir John Herschel.”—(Vide Monthly Notices R.A.S. vol. 24, p. 172.)
