From these elements I have calculated the following table. 



The longitude of Philadelphia I have supposed to be 5 b 09' 

 57" west of Paris, and that of New- York 5" 05' 25" 4. By 

 the combination of different observations with these data, and 

 the differences of longitude resulting from the different obser- 

 vations of the eclipse, I have determined the longitudes of 

 Mr. Dunbar's house near Natchez, and of Lancaster. — That of 

 Albany I have determined from the mean result of the chro- 

 nometer and eclipse. 



The situation of the house of Chancellor Levingslon and of 

 Newburg are ascertained by the chronometer referred to Kin- 

 derhook and New- York.
