II. ON THE SOLAR MOTION IN SPACE AND THE STELLAR DISTANCES.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

IN a previous paper, I have examined some of the older known proper motions, and shown that they are favorable to the assumption that the distances of the stars are, upon the average, inversely proportional to their proper motions. We cannot expect that this will be equally true in all regions of the heavens. It will be necessary, as materials accumulate for the study of this problem, and other collateral ones, to pursue the investigation more into detail; including more stars, and examining their motions as related to their position on the celestial sphere, and especially to the apex of solar motion...
