On these plates -26^[[°]] 891 magn. 10 is clearly shown on the above plates but they apparently show no trace of the star -26^[[°]] 892 magn. 8.6. A faint star near this position is well shown in all the good plates and it shows no sign of variation.

Transcription Notes:
I think the correct units should be 23^[[h]] 23 ^[[m]] 39.8^[[s]] as seen in the tables that have been transcribed. Hours, minutes, seconds.
