make it to be 9 h 55' 53'f Weft from Greenwich, or 

 148 58 / |, which: is 41'! lefs than the mean refult; 

 of the lunar obfervations,. whichj confidering ail 

 cireumftances, is not; in my opinion,, a very great 

 difference for the firft obfervations that were ever; 

 jnade upon this hland* 



Agronomical Obfervations made at the Royal Aea*- 

 demy, Portfmouth. 



1769. May 9$hi at 8 h " 13' 9", apparent time, Mr„. 

 Bradley obferved the immerfion of ^J[ orma by the . 



Moon, uncertain to a few minutes, on account 

 of the itrong twilight.. The emerfion was not: 

 taken. 



The tranfit of Venus, and folar eel i pfe, next morn-, 

 ing, were both obferved here ; but, having then 

 no better inftrument for determining the going of 

 the clock, than an indifferent Hadley's fextant, I 

 do not think the obfervations worthy of being laid -. 

 before the Society ; and, for the fame.reafon, omit: 

 the obfervations of the comet, 



3*770. April 7th, at 1%$ 23' 3/', apparent time, , 

 by Mr. Bradley's observation, the Moon occulted i 

 £-$l' l \. My time was within 2" or 3 " the fame 5 

 but we did not obferve the emerfion. This oc- - 

 cultation was obferved both at Greenwich,, by Mr. 

 Maikelyne, and at Oxford, by Profeilbr Hornfbyj ■ 

 by comparing vvhich, it appears that this place is 

 Weft of Greenwich^' 24"! of time, . and . that . 

 Qx/ord is Weft of Greenwich 4' 5&''£.
