PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS. 



[anno 1676.' 



The same Eclipse observed hy Mr. Richard Townly, at Townly, in Lat. 53° 44', 

 and Long. Q min. West of the Meridian of London, page 664. See Fig. 3, 

 PL 10. N'^ 127, p. 663. 



The place of the exit was so near the vertex, that I could not well determine 

 which way it inclined from it. Though at 9 h. 29m. by the clock, the cusps 

 appeared parallel to the horizon. — At 9h. 10m. the sun's diameter measured 

 2,334. — ^When the sun came to the meridian, by a long meridian line, the 

 clock was found too slow by Im. 42s. But by a large equinoctial dial, by 

 which I could distinguish to half minutes or less, the clock was too slow all this 

 morning only 45 seconds. Yet I rather trust to the former correction by the 

 meridian line, than by the sun-dial.
