= 1.50617 or 1 day 12h 8' 5 2'". 84. Therefore the sun 

 was exactly in the parallel of the Observatory on the 

 25th of April at 12^ 8' 52''84 P. M. Madras time, and 

 taking the difference of longitude to be 80° 18' 30" E. 

 which giveb in time 5^ 21"^ 14^, then the sun was vsx 

 the said parallel on the 25th of April at 6^ 471" 38". 

 Greenwich time. 



27. Now by interpolating again for the sun*s declina- 

 tion at that instant, we have by the ephemerides
