These double or twin stars are often very beautiful. The twins are of all colours, and generally match well with each other for instance, purple and orange green and orange red and green blue and pale green white and ruby. One of the prettiest lies in the constellation Cygnus. I will show it to you." "Oh, how lovely!" exclaimed Miss Carmichael, looking through the glass.
This enabled us to save, to some extent, the water we had in our casks, at the same time that all the horses had as much as they could drink. I took angles from the camp to all the hills in sight, and at night made the latitude of the tent 33 degrees 18 minutes 34 seconds S. by an altitude of a Cygnus. September 26.
"Now that you have found us, Sir Ulysses" continued my eccentric host, motioning me, with an indescribably princely wave of the hand to accompany him "you must certainly give us the pleasure of your company to luncheon. Visitors are as rare as black swans on this Ultima Thule of ours though, by the way, the black swan, cygnus atratus, is nothing like so rare as the ancients believed.
And the stars do change. I have seen pole stars and pole stars and dynasties of pole stars. The pole star to-day is in Ursa Minor.

The Hooper is included in Professor Ansted's list, but marked as only occurring in Guernsey. There are two specimens in the Museum, one adult and one young bird. BEWICK'S SWAN. Cygnus minor, Keys and Blasius.
It was quite a picture to see the keen interest and intense enjoyment with which the profound astronomer would seat himself at his instrument and pick out some exquisite test objects, such as the double stars in Virgo, Cygnus, or Ursa Major.
It lasted till the return of the walking party, so late, that they had been star-gazing, and came in, in full dispute as to which was Cygnus and which Aquila, while Blanche was talking very grandly of Taurus Poniatouski, and Harry begging to be told which constellations he should still see in the southern hemisphere. Dr.
If the present long close season is to be continued, the Mute Swan might well be added to the somewhat unreasonable list of birds in the Guernsey Sea-birds Act; at all events, Swans would be better worth preserving than Plongeons or Cormorants.
