2 stars have parallaxes between -0″.15 and -0″.10.
--
92, total number of stars.
It will be understood that the negative parallaxes found for fifteen of
these stars are the result of errors of observation. Assuming that an
equal number of the smaller positive values are due to the same cause,
and subtracting these thirty stars from the total number, we shall
have sixty-two stars left of which the parallax is real and generally
amounts to 0″.05, more or less. The two values approximating to 0″.25
seem open to little doubt. We might say the same of the six next in the
list. The first two belong to the stars 54 Piscium and Weisse, 17h.,
322.
