ASTRONOMISCHE NACHRICHTEN. Double-Star Observations made at the Lick Observatory by S.FKBurnkarn. (Communicated by the Director Prof. Edward S. Holden.) The following are the principal double-star observations made by me with the thirtysix and twelve inch re- fractors of the Lick Observatory in August, September and October of the present year. In this list, as a rule, only the stars are given which have been measured on at least three nights. Unless othenvise stated in the notes, the new double-stars were discovered with the I 2 inch telescope. The aperture of the instrument with which the micrometrical measures were made is given in the last column. New Double-Stat& Lal. 58. < Piscium. RA. oh~"48' Decl. +5 zo 5 7'.
