late Mr. Gascoigne and those of Mr. Townley, which were made in a similar 

 manner. The correct distances are as follow : 



Vine. Mutus, in a letter to Hicciolus, (printed 

 in the Almages,- Nov. tom. 1, p. 717) says, 

 that the brighter western star passed over the 

 meridian just at the same altitude as the bright 

 star of the Pleiades. Relying on which notice, 

 and the observed distances, I have to those 

 stars assigned their places, as in the first table 

 above; first, having given the same place and 

 latitude to the middle bright star, as the Caro- 

 line author has done ; and the others also being 

 settled from thence. Notwithstanding which, 

 however, if I might follow my own opinion in 

 this matter, I should advance all those longi- 

 tudes three minutes more, or two at the least, 

 and I would also assign them a greater latitude 

 from the ecliptic.

I. Elemens.de Geometric; par le P. Ignace Gaston Pardies, de la Comp. de J. 

 A Paris, 1671, in ISmo. 



A neat compendium of Geometry, both theoretical and practical. 



II. Regnerus de Graaf de Succo Pancreatico. Lugduni Batavorum, An. 

 1671, in 12mo. 



A new edition of De Graaf's Treatise on the Pancreatic Juice, containing, 

 among other additions, a letter to Dr. Lucas Schacht, professor of physic at 

 Leyden, de partibus genitalibus mulierum, the prodromus of a separate work on 

 that subject. From this letter a Latin extract is inserted in the original Trans- 

 actions, a translation of which is here deemed unnecessary, as the treatise here 

 promised by the author, and afterwards noticed in N° S2, is in the library of 

 most anatomists.
