   The present version of the GCVS generally uses the 1950.0 epoch (and
the same equinox).  So the positional revisions should be made at the
reduced epoch of 1950.0.
   Stars with large proper motions are often given with associated remarks,
but the GCVS 3 remarks (now available electronically) don't give them for
GQ And and GX And.  Since the binarity and the ADS number is already given,
the editor should have noticed the nature of this famous binary.
