Scientific hitelligence. 



The beginning and end, &c. of the eclipse at the following places 

 are expressed in mean and civil time of each particular place. The 

 angles of the points on the Sun's disc, at which the obscuration will 

 begin and end are counted from the vertex or highest point o( the 

 Sun towards the right hand, as seen through a telescope that does 

 not invert; for an astronomical telescope, 180 degrees should be 

 added thereto. 



The Sun will rise at Sitka and Port Stewart at 3h. 56m, and 4h. 3m. 

 and will set at Tifflis at 7h. 20m. The obscuration at the Observatory 

 at Cambridge will be on the northern, and at Sitka on the southern 

 limb of the Sun.
