On the southern horizon is the head of the Indian (_Indus_); on its left a part of the Crane (_Grus_), and low down in the southeast lies Fomalhaut, the chief brilliant of the Southern Fish (_Piscis Australis_). Above lies the Water Bearer (_Aquarius_), in the southwestern mid-heaven. Due east, fairly high, is "the Square of Pegasus," the head of the Winged Horse, Pegasus lying close by the Water Pitcher of Aquarius (marked by the stars z, g, and a). The Fishes (_Pisces_) are low down in the east. A few stars of the Whale (_Cetus_) are seen on their right, very low down. On the left of Pisces we see the Ram (_Aries_), low down; above it the Triangle; and above that the Chained Lady (_Andromeda_). Low down in the northeast is the Rescuing Knight (_Perseus_); above whom is _Cassiopeia_, and on her left, higher up, the inconspicuous constellation _Cepheus_. Lastly, immediately below _Cepheus_, we find the Camelopard, below which, very low down, between north and northeast, is the Charioteer (_Auriga_), the brilliant Capella being just above the horizon. NIGHT SKY.--SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER. Low down, between north and northwest, we find the seven stars of the Dipper, the Pointers on the right nearly due north. They direct us to the Pole Star. The Guardians of the Pole (b and g of the Little Bear, _Ursa Minor_) lie in a direction from the Pole Star corresponding to that of the minute hand of a clock about 17 minutes before an hour. Between the Pointers and the Pole Star we find the tip of the Dragon's tail: then passing round the Little Bear with the Dragon's long train of third magnitude stars, we come, after a bend, to the Dragon's head, with the two bright eyes, a and b--(part of the Dragon's nose has been borrowed by Hercules). These two stars are almost exactly midway between the horizon and the point overhead, and nearly northwest. King Cepheus--not a very conspicuous constellation--lies between the point overhead and the Little Bear. Low down in the northwest we find the head of the Herdsman (_Booetes_). The Crown (_Corona Borealis_), which no one can mistake, lies on his left; and close by is the setting head of the Serpent. Above these three groups we see Hercules--the Kneeler--his head at a, his upraised club by g. Above the head of Hercules we find the Lyre, with the bright star Vega; and above that the Swan. Passing southward, we see the Serpent-Holder (_Serpentarius_ or _Ophiuchus_), beyond whom lies the Serpent's tail; a most inconvenient arrangement, as the Serpent is divided into two parts. Almost exactly southeast, and low down, are the stars of the Archer (_Sagittarius_); while above, in the mid-sky, we see the Eagle (_Aquila_), with the bright Altair. Note the neat little constellation the Dolphin (_Delphinus_), close by.
