 Rhiphean hills intoThule: wherein (as wefaid) it is day and night continually by tiirnes (for 

 fixe moneths.) The fame writers havefet down two parallele circles, before thofc points where 

 the otherbegan;, and which we let downe.The one through thelflands Meroe and Pcolemais 

 upon the red fea,built for the hunting of Elephants, where the longeft daiesarebut 12 houres 

 and an halfe : the fecond palling through Syrcnein /Egypt, where the day hath 1 3 houres. And 



E the fame Authours have put to every one of the other circles, evon to the very iaftj halfe an 

 houre more to the dales length, than the old Geographers.
