NEBULAR HEAT. 89 drawings of this nebula, from that of Herschel in 1833to that of Lasell in 1862 (Fig. 16), and that of Trouvelotand Holden in 1875 (Fig. 17), seem to indicate that theeastern or omega-shaped portion of the nebula has under-gone considerable change in respect to the stars in closest.

Professor Holden says: These draw-ings show that the western end of this nebula has movedrelatively to its contained stars from 1833 to 1862, andagain from 1862 to 1875, and always in the same direc-tion. Meantime the conspicuous streak or wing ex-tended toward the east has not moved in reference to the 90 NEBULAR LIFE.
