By our obfervation, the greateft obícuration was: at. about. 
12^ 2 1^ apparent time, when the parts eclipfed were 11 dig. 24° 
The clock's rate of going was. the fame for feveral days fol-- 
lowing the 27th, as it had been for the two-days preceding.. 
N. B. 1. By twenty-feven double altitudes of the fan, when. 
upon the meridian, taken with a Hadley’s oGtant, very accu-. 
rately conftructed, I have found the latitude of the houfe, where- 
the foregoing obfervations. were made, 42° 36° N.———The 
houfe {tands. facing the middle of the. craining-feld, (fo called) 
in the firk parifh in. Bevery.. 
N. B. 2. By calculations from the obfervatiócs- of the fore-. 
going Supe made at. Beverly, and thofe made at Chelfea, I find: 
the difference of meridians to be 45” in time ; which, added 
to 26", the différence between Chela and. Cambridge,» makes: 
1' 11” for the difference between Cambridge and’ Beverly. The: 
difference betweer Beverly and ein where. Profeffor Wil-
