 terrestrian phenomenon.

360. Local, terrestrian, 



409. More like an eclipse. 



530. One year and a half after the aphelion of Jupiter, and as 

 long after that of Saturn 5 favorable to theory. 



567. Somewhat over two years before the aphelion of Jupiter, but 

 coincident with that of Saturn ; most likely a maximum, which is, 

 however, not described by the occurrence. 



626. According to the intelh'ycnt and carefid Arabian observers, 

 half the disc of the sun remained obscured during eight months. 

 It is evidently the sun which is obscured. The evidence indicates a 

 most intense maximum. In this year coincide the aphelia of Jupiter 

 and of Saturn. This case alone seems fully to confirm the theory. 

 The period 11.86 coincides from 1828 downward. 



807. Coincides with the aphelion of Jupiter, and three years after 

 that of Saturn ; favorable to theory. 



840. A little over two years before the aphelion of Jupiter, but 

 coincident with that of Saturn. The small angular distance of the 

 two planets increased the maximum. 



934. Local, terrestrian. 



1091. A few months before the aphelion of Jupiter. 



1096. Could not be a maximum if 1091 was one. 



1206. A local phenomenon, terrestrian. 



1241. Equally local, terrestrian.
