Because of the large separation of the stars, sometimes they were not designated like above. For example, in Lacaille’s catalogue, τ6 was designated n, τ6 was designated n, τ7 was designated m, and τ9 was designated k. In Bode’s catalog, only τ1 and 2 were designated Tau. τ3 was designated E, τ4 was designated j, τ5 was designated t, τ6,7 were designated m, and τ8,9 was designated l. These designations were not withheld and reverted to the chain of Tau stars. All of them were member of asterism 天苑 (Tiān Yuàn), Celestial Meadows, Hairy Head mansion .
