_Within the Zodiac._ In _Aries_, Mirach, or [beta] Andromedæ, shewn by a short tongue above Aries; in _Taurus_, Algol, or [beta] Persei, as marked; in _Libra_, Aliot or Alioth, i.e. [epsilon] Ursæ Majoris (the third horse, next the cart, in Charles's Wain), as marked; also Alramech, Arcturus, or [alpha] Boötis, shewn by the tongue projecting above Libra; in _Scorpio_, Alpheta, Alphecca, or [alpha] Coronæ Borealis, as marked; in _Sagittarius_, Raz Alhagus, or [alpha] Ophiuchi, near Alpheta; in _Capricornus_, Altair or [alpha] Aquilæ and Vega or [alpha] Lyræ, as marked, whilst near Vega is the unmarked Arided, or [alpha] Cygni; and in _Pisces_, Markab or [alpha] Pegasi. _Without the Zodiac._ In _Aries_, under _Oriens_, the slight projection marks [beta] Ceti or Deneb Kaitos, the Whale's Tail, and the next curiously shaped projection (with side-tongues probably referring to other stars) means Batnkaitos, the Whale's Belly, apparently [zeta] Ceti; next come the long tongue for Menkar or [alpha] Ceti, the Whale's Nose; the star Aldebaran or Bull's Eye, [alpha] Tauri; Rigel or [beta] Orionis, Orion's Foot; Alhabor or Sirius, the Dog-star, marked by a rude drawing of a dog's head, the star itself being at the tip of his tongue; then Algomeisa, Procyon, or [alpha] Canis Minoris, marked by a tongue pointing to the left, whilst the long broad tongue pointing upwards is Regulus, Kalbalased, or [alpha] Leonis; the small tongue above the letter I in the border is Alphard or Cor Hydræ. Above _Occidens_, in _Libra_, the first tongue is Algorab or [delta] Corvi, and the next Spica Virginis or Azimech; close to the 8th degree of Scorpio is [alpha] Libræ, and close to the beginning of Sagittarius is a small head, denoting the Scorpion, at the tip of the tongue of which is the bright Kalbalacrab or Antares. The last, a projection below the letter X, is Deneb Algebi or the Goat's Tail, i.e. [delta] Capricorni. 7. That is, the little point at the end of each tongue of metal is technically called the 'centre' of the star, and denotes its exact position. 9. The stars of the North are those to the North of the _zodiac_, not of the _equator_. 12. _Aldeberan_, &c.; the stars Aldebaran ([alpha] Tauri) and Algomeisa ([alpha] Canis Minoris) are called stars of the south, because they are to the south of the ecliptic; but as they are meanwhile (see Fig. 2) also to the north of the equator, they of course rise to the N. of the Eastern point of the horizon. The longitude of stars was always measured along the ecliptic, which is denoted in Fig. 2 by the outermost circle of the metal ring on which the names of the signs are written. In one of the tracts in MS. G (dated A.D. 1486), p. 30, we find 'Aldebaran, in the first gre of ge_min_is (_sic_), of the nature of Mars and Venus'; and 'Algomeisa, canis minor, in the xvij gr_e_ of Canc_er_, of the nature of Mars and M_er_cury.'
