“ Location.—This constellation is represented by two fishes each with a ribbon tied to its tail. One, the Northern Fish, lies just below (β) Andromedæ,—the other, represented by the circlet, is just below Pegasus. The ribbons, represented by streams of faint stars, form a "V" with elongated sides, and terminate in the star Al Rischa, The Knot.
Below (ω) , and to the east of (λ) the spot marked (*) is the place which the sun occupies at the time of the equinox. It is one of the two crossing places of the equinoctial, or equator of the heavens, and the ecliptic or sun's path. ”
