We now pass northward to the region covered by map No. 14, including the remainder of Ophiuchus and Serpens. Beginning with the head of Serpens, in the upper right-hand corner of the map, we find that beta, of magnitude three and a half, has a ninth-magnitude companion, distance 30", p. 265 deg.. The larger star is light blue and the smaller one yellowish. The little star nu is double, magnitudes five and nine, distance 50", p. 31 deg., colors contrasted but uncertain. In delta we find a closer double, magnitudes three and four, distance 3.5", p. 190 deg.. It is a beautiful object for the three-inch. The leader of the constellation, alpha, of magnitude two and a half, has a faint companion of only the twelfth magnitude, distance 60", p. 350 deg.. The small star is bluish. The variable R has a period about a week short of one year, and at maximum exceeds the sixth magnitude, although sinking at minimum to less than the eleventh. Its color is ruddy. Passing eastward, we turn again into Ophiuchus, and find immediately the very interesting double, lambda, whose components are of magnitudes four and six, distance 1", p. 55 deg.. This is a long-period binary, and notwithstanding the closeness of its stars, our four-inch should separate them when the seeing is fine. We shall do better, however, to try with the five-inch. Sigma 2166 consists of two stars of magnitudes six and seven and a half, distance 27", p. 280 deg.. Sigma 2173 is a double of quite a different order. The magnitudes of its components are both six, the distance in 1899 0.98", p. 331 deg.. It is evidently a binary in rapid motion, as the distance changed from about a quarter of a second in 1881 to more than a second in 1894. The star tau is a fine triple, magnitudes five, six, and nine, distances 1.8", p. 254 deg., and 100", p. 127 deg.. The close pair is a binary system with a long period of revolution, estimated at about two hundred years. We discover another group of remarkable doubles in 67, 70, and 73. In the first-named star the magnitudes are four and eight, distance 55", p. 144 deg., colors finely contrasted, pale yellow and red.
