, the Unicorn, one of the new constellations of the northern hemisphere, or one of those which Hevelius has added to the 48 old asterisms, and formed out of the stellæ informes, or those which were not comprized within the outlines of any of the others. In Hevelius's catalogue, the Unicorn contains 19 stars, but in the Britannic catalogue 31.
