General Remarks. ~ 
The evening was beau- 
tifully clear and calm, the 
and the immersions, tak- 
ing place on the dark limb, 
were each apparently ex- 
act, Jupiter changing from 
the first contact as. dis- 
tinctly as a Solar Eclipse. 
The emersions of the 
Satellites could not be 
well observed. Place o' 
observ. 1” in time E. of my 
present residence. Lon, 
71° 4’. Lat. 42° 19 20. 
At the commencement

This Eclipse was ob- 
served a few minutes be- 
fore Sunset from Jones’s 
hill in Dorchester, in 
Lon. 719 4’; Lat. 42° 19/ 
nearly.» Time marked by 
a pocket Chronometer, 
Barraud’s, No. 275. 
17°24 P.M. 
Although so’ near noon, 
the star was distinct, its 
color appearing very simi- 
lar to that of the moon; it 
lingered between one and 
two seconds, like a moun- 
tain projected from the 
moon’s limb. 
Tremulous, two or three 
seconds, on the moon’s 
enlightened limb.
