 towards the east i reckoned for dii-ect images) ; beginning 

 of total phases 5h. 0-9m. a.m. (the Moon sets at Greenwich 

 at 5h. 18m.) ; middle of the eclipse 5h. 57m. a.m. ; end of 

 total phases Oh. 47*lm. a.m. ; last contact with shadow at 

 7h. 53-7m. a.m., at 110 from the northernmost portion of 

 the hmb towards the west ; last contact with penumbra 

 9h. 4'3m. a.m. (magnitude of eclipse (Moon's diameter = 1) 

 1-55). At Ih. 54m. a.m. on the 3rd the 4tli magnitude 

 star I Aquarii will disappear at an angle of 87^, and re- 

 appear at 2h. 53m. a.m. at an angle of 205°. At Oh. 12m.

 At 7h. 7m. P.M. on the 6th the Oth magnitude star 00 

 PiEcium will disappear at an angle of 108°, the star rising 

 at the time, and reappear at 7h. 46m. p.m. at an angle of 

 194° ; and the Oth magnitude star 02 Piscium will disappear 

 at 8h. 4m. p.m., at an angle of 8", and reappear at 8h. 40m. 

 P.M. at an angle of 292 . At 2h. 41m. a.m. on the 10th
