* [footnote] *Sir William Herschel, in the 'Philos. Transact. ' for 1817, Partii p. 438. The two brilliant nodes in which the branches of the zone unite, in theregion of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, and in the vicinity of Scorpio andSagittarius, appear to exercise a powerful attraction on the contiguousstars; in the most brilliant part, however between beta and [Greek symbol]Cygni, one half of the 330, 000 stars that have been discovered in a breadthof 5 degrees are directed toward one side, and the... remainder to the other. It is in this part that Herschel supposes the layer to be broken up. * [footnote] *Arago, in the 'Annuaire', 1842, p. 569 The number of telescopic stars in the Milky Way uninterrupted by any nebulaeis estimated at 18 millions. In order, I will not say, to realize thegreatness of this number, but, at any rate, to compare it with somethinganalogous, I will call attention to the fact that there are not in the wholeheavens more than about 8000 stars between the first and the sixthmagnitudes, visible to the naked eye.
