HINDUSTANEE HOROMETRY. 85 



as their fituations and fpaccs mull regularly accord 

 with the riling and letting of the fun at the vernal and 

 autumnal equinoxes, as alio at the fummer and winter 

 folftices. The days then differ in length alternately 

 from 34 to 26 gyhurees 9 as noted by the chime figures 

 of every watch ; all of which will be more evident 

 from the mode of inferting them, and the manner that 

 the plate has been (haded, to illuftrate thefe circum- 

 (lances fully. II. puhur> however, never varies ; 

 and being upon the meridional line, it of courfe con- 

 ftantly falls in with our XII. day and night. The 

 fourth ring from the circumference (hews the g,hurees 9 

 when the day is longed, running with the fun to the 

 top, and from this to VI. P. M. for the fubdiviftons 

 of the day, and in the fame manner by the bottom 

 onwards for thofe of the night, throughout thefe con- 

 catenated circular figures i. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9, 

 1. 2, &c. q. v. in the plate. Still more interior ap- 

 pear the equinoctial g,bureesy and on the fame prin- 

 ciples exactly. Within thefe come the winter folftitial 

 gybureesy fo clearly marked as to require no further elu- 

 cidation here • except that in the three feries of con- 

 vergent figures now enumerated, the reader will recol- 

 lect, when he comes to the higheft number of gyburees 

 in any puhur, to trace the lattery and its chime, or 

 number of bells, out by the gjhuree chord. For in* 

 (lance, when the days are (horteft, begin 48 minutes 

 after VI. A. M. and follow the coincident line inward 

 to the centre, till you reach 9 and 34 for the clofing 

 gjouree and gujur of the night; thence go round in 

 fucceflion upwards with the day gjmrees 1. 2. 3. 4. 

 5. 6. 7. the chord of which la ft terminates 36 minutes 

 after IX. and has 7 upon it for 7 bells, and 1 for ek 

 pubur diiiy the firft watch of the day. In this way the 

 whole may be compared with our time, allowing not 

 only for the different meridians in this country, but 

 for the feveral intermediate periods, and the difficulty 

 of precifely afcertaining the real riling of the fun, &c>
