[[preprinted]] 2 [[preprinted]] Dec. [[strikethrough]] 3 [[/strikethrough]] 4, 1897. Re-examination of all the plates of gamma Circini. Though it was marked as a peculiar star before, the exact nature of its spectrum was not detected. X 6401 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] gamma Cir. The 2nd type spectrum between H gamma & H delta is here distinctly seen. Lines 4326 G band 4227 { 4215.7 { as in alpha Aurigae Region of 4144-H delta look like alpha Aurigae. This region also looks like the same in a B5A star when superposed on a plate showing that type. X 4795 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] beta Cir. gamma Cir. also on plate. 4026 & 4009.5 seen. Also lines between H delta & H epsilon that identify as solar ones when superposed on spectrum of alpha Aurigae. [[end page]] [[preprinted]] 3 [[/preprinted]] Dec. [[strikethrough]] 3 [[/strikethrough]] 4, 1897. X 4883 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] gamma Circini Lines of both components seen, but not so distinctly as on 6401. X 5622 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] gamma Circini Lines very hazy, probably focus. Dec. 23. gamma Circini is found to be a known double and was observed by Prof. W.H. Lickering at Arequipa. The magnitude of the two components are 5.5 & 5.8 X 3984 1 [[superscript]] 5 [[/superscript]] beta Cent.
