Robert Hooke, in 1674, published his observations of γ Draconis, a star of magnitude 2 < sup > m </ sup > which passes practically overhead at the latitude of London, and whose observations are therefore free from the complex corrections due to astronomical refraction, and concluded that this star was 23 ″ more northerly in July than in October.

There was apparently no shifting of the star, which was therefore thought to be at its most southerly point.

On December 17, however, Bradley observed that the star was moving southwards, a motion further shown by observations on the 20th.

The observations were continued, and the star was seen to continue its southerly course until March, when it took up a position some 20 ″ more southerly than its December position.

This star was seen to possess an apparent motion similar to that which would be a consequence of the nutation of the Earth's axis ; but since its declination varied only one half as much as in the case of γ Draconis, it was obvious that nutation did not supply the requisite solution.
