The star X ^[[immediately]] follows an eleventh magnitude star and is about 30" N. The eleventh magn. star is probably the one observed by Mr. Reed since the star assumed to be X is at least 1.5 to 2.0 magns. fainter than it

Mr. Reed observed X and not the eleventh magn. star as was supposed in the above note.
