THE SOLAR ECLIPSE. 247 
many observers in Spain and Algiers, who were occupied with the general 
South progress of the phenomenon ; and it ap- 
ha peared that they begin about a minute be- 
fore the vanishing of the sun, and move on 
parallel with the solar crescent, 7. e., parallel 
with the tangent of the point of the moon’s 
limb, where the sun vanishes. 
A collation of the observations decides 
at once one of the most important points 
of dispute, inasmuch as it comes out de- 
cidedly that everywhere the principal pro- 
tuberances appeared at the same points of 
the moon’s limb. 
The most conspicuous protuberances are 
designated in the adjoining figure. The

drawings) is thus given:

The long mountain ridge 6 is also to be perceived in all the drawings. The 
gles of position are, however, less accurate on account of its extent. 
The protuberance ¢ is especially deserving of notice, because it appeared 
separated from the moon’s limb. Its position was: 
55° Airy. 45° Plantamour. 
60 Bruhns. 25 Novella. 
59 Secchi. 57 W. dela Rue.

The protuberance e was noticed by only a few observers, and seems after- 
wards to have formed part of an extended mountain ridge. ‘The position was 
given as follows: 
328° Novella. 330° Aguilar.

The protuberance f was, at some places, observed as standing by itself; at 
others it formed only a part of a long mountain ridge. The position-angle was: 
260° Bruhns. f | 265° W. de la Rue.

The position of protuberance g was given as follows; 
255° Thiele. I. 235° Aguilar.
