Observations on the eclipse of the sun, June 16, 1806. 29 
-~In making the preceding calculations it was supposed that Salem 
was inthe longitude of 4h. 43’ 32” W from Greenwich. Hence it would 
follow that the ecliptic conjunction at Greenwich was at 4h. 20’ 52".7 
mean. time, or 4h. 20” 45’*9 apparent time ; and as Paris is 9’ 18*8 
east of Greenwich, the ecliptic conjunction at Paris would be at 4h. 
30’ 11’"5 mean time, or 4h. 30’ 4’°7 apparent time. These times may 
be liable to an error of 4” or 5” from the uncertainty in the eee of 
a from which that of Salem is deduced. 
~ It was found in the former part of these calculations that at 11h. 30’ 
14" mean time at Salem, the longitude of the sun, as given by the ta- 
bles in the third edition of La Lande oe ena ME Ah A, 
rary Moon in n longitude, Porrespendiae shihcinil 
dle time between 11h. 30’ 14” and the ecliptic conjunction, 36’ 41-97. 
Hence at the conjunction the tabular longitude of the sun was 2s, 24° 
44 39-4, and that of the moon 2s. 24° 45’ 4’°8; so that, if the solar ta- 
bles were correct, the nioon’s tabular longitude was foa.gsreat by 25’°4. 
error of the moon’s longitude will be 25". 10-5 57 4:
