A straight line drawn through Alkaid and Mizar (the two stars at the end of the Great Dipper handle) will fall about 8 east of Arcturus. West of this star are three dim ernes forming a triangle, and east of it are three almost in line, while north of it, about ten degrees, are three others almost in line, the middle one being very dun. Still further toward the pole are three stars forming a triangle. No star hi the constellation except Arcturus, is brighter than third magnitude. Of the mytholog...y of Bootes there are various versions ; but it is generally agreed that he is a huntsman chasing the two bears around the pole. He holds two dogs by a leash, one of which, Cor Coroli, about 12 southwest of Alkaid, is plainly visible. 32 THE SUMMER CONSTELLATIONS 33 Virgo, the VIRGIN. Southwestward from Arcturus and about half way from that star to the horizon there is a beautiful 1m (first magnitude) star called Spica. Northwestward and northeast- ward from it are scattered a number of small stars all belonging to the same Constellation Virgo.
