Observations of the Eclipse of the Moon, on Sept. 8, I67I, made by 

 several Astronomers in different Countries. N" 76, p. 2272. 



1 . By Mr. Street, in London. 



The emersion: altitude of the (( 's upper edge 10** 30' | 7^ 21™ 



End of the eclipse: altitude of Arcturus 16 20 | 8 16^ 



2. By Mr. Palmer, at Ecton in Northamptonshire. 



About six in the evening the moon rose totally eclipsed at Ecton. The moon 

 began to emerge out of the shadow at ^h. 18m. her centre being 9° 35' high. 

 At the end, Arcturus was l6° 30' high, or the time was 8h. l6m. 20s. Whence 

 the middle of the eclipse is computed to be at 6h. 28m. l6s. 



3. By Bulliald, at Paris. 



End of eclipse: altitude of Arcturus to the west was 13° 4 1' O'' 



Subtracting the refraction, his altitude was 13 3/ 45 



Hence is given the time of observation 8** 29™ 1 & 



End of the penumbra : altitude of Arcturus 13° O' 0^ 



The same corrected 12 56 O 



Hence the time was 8*^ 33"* 40' 



Mceotis observed wholly out of the shadow at 8 24 16 



The corrected altitude of Arcturus being 14° 23' 55'" 



The Moon quitted the shadow opposite Petra Sogdiana in Hevelius's map.
