In Albany the eclipse was observed by Mr. Simeon de Witt,

M. De Witt did not apply the correction of corresponding 

 altitudes, on account of the variation in the sun's declination, 

 and in this case we have the observations as follows.

The end of total darkness was observed by the naked eye, 

 the other observations were made with a telescope which mag- 

 nified 30 times. — It is observable that the end of total darkness 

 was so instantaneous, (as is expressed in my account,) that the 

 error made between the observations, made by the best tele- 

 scope and the naked eye, could scarcely amount to half a 

 second. 



Latitude of Albany as stated in my observations, page 269, 

 is 42° 38' 384-". — Longitude east of New- York by chrono- 

 meter No. 63 in time = 58" 



The beginning and end of the eclipse at Albany do not ap- 

 pear to have been correctly ascertained, which it is easy to see 

 by reference to calculation. 



The interior contacts are to be depended upon.— It results therefore from the interior 

 contacts at lll> 08' 07" 1 Parallax in long. 9' 06" 9 Parallax in lat. =20' 29" 8
