Abstract
ANOTHER QUICKLY MOVING DWARF STAR.—Mr. Innes's zeal in examining pairs of plates with the blink micrometer has been rewarded by the discovery of another very interesting dwarf star with a large proper motion and parallax. The former was detected from plates taken at Sydney, the latter from a series of fourteen plates taken at Johannesburg with the Franklin-Adams lens. The star is of the 12th magnitude; its position for 1920 is R.A. 11h. 12m. 52.39s., S. decl. 57° 8′ 13.1″; the proper motion in R.A. is 2.506″, in decl. + 0.973″, total 2.688″ in P.A. 291.2°. The parallax from R.A. measures was found to be 0.350″, that from declination measures 0.324″.
