Confirmation of object found to be missing on AM 2660, but present in positive. In cluster 18^[[h]] 22 + 6

[[margin]] Known. [[/margin]] Not seen on AM 1448
This is found to be Tau Serpentis.

This same object was marked on AM 4663 and examined on several I plates. See Bk. 16, p. 151. Not confirmed. This star is however, certainly familiar on AM 2660 than on AM 1918.
More plates should be examined and some about the time of AM [[underlined]]1918[[/underlined]], May 6, 1903, when the star appears brightest!

Left out several " (ditto) marks for dates appearing below identical ones -- the explanations for " ruined alignment of data entries. ditto and words need adding. 1905 was substituted for ditto marks near end of second page because of other dates intervening in the transcription
