Art. XXXIV.— CELESTIAL PHENOMENA, 

 From January 1st 1826, to April 1st 1826. Adapted to the Meridian of 

 Greenivick, Apparent Time, excepting the Eclipses of Jupiter's Satel- 

 lite's, which are given in Mean Time. 



[[The Calculations hitherto given in this work were adapted to the Me- 

 ridian of Edinburgh ; but as the longitude and latitude of this place have 

 never been well ascertained, there can be no advantage in suiting the cal- 

 culations to a hypothetical meridian. The practical astronomer must re- 

 peat the calculations for his own use ; and the general observer, or ama- 

 teur in astronomy, requires only the approximate time of the Celestial 

 phenomena, and can have no difficulty in determining this, for any part of 

 the kingdom, from the times for Greenwich. The longitude of Edinburgh 

 Royal Observatory, according to the best observations, is 3° 10' 21" W. 

 and its Latitude 55° 57' 57" N/] 



N. B. — The day begins at noon, and the conjunctions of the Moon and 

 Stars are given in Right Ascension.
