Jfir&nomrj^ as they were printed in French^ and addreffcd to Monfieur

The Eclipfe began there, at 5 h. 44'. 52". mane. It ended at 7 h. 43', 6"o. 
So that its whole DuratiGn was i h. 5 8'*. 14". The greatefi Obfcuration they 
afsign to have been 7. dig. f0»-ra» but they addc, that ic feem'd to have been 
greater by 5 minut? which M* Pay en imputes to a particular motion of 1$- 
hrationoi the Suns Globe, which entertain d that Luminary in the fame Pha- 
fis for the fpace of S^min. and fome [ecmds^ as if it had been ftoppcd in the 
niidft of its Couffe rather than to a tremulous Motion of the Atmofphsre , 
as i'f/jc'^W would have ir». 
They intimate that the J took the time of each Phafis from half digit to 
ht\^ digit ^ well by a Pendulum^ as by t\\t Altitudes oi the Sms Center a- 
bove the Hori^m, correded by the Verticall Paralaxes and ^ftinall Re- 
fraElions, by which they judged, that though the Time by the Fendulnm 
may be fuficient for Mechanicall Operations, yet *tis not exad enough for 
ttiMidiinn, At Grounds of tr He A enemy-. 
They further cOQceive that the apparent Bumeters were almoft equal , 
feeing that in the Phafis of 5. Digits^ the Circumferen- e of the Moons disl^ 
pafTed through the Center of that of the Sfin^ fo as that two Lines drawn, 
through the two H©r»/ of the Sun, made with the Commoti Semi- diameter 
two Equilateral Triangles, 
Next, they affirm, That there was fo great a Variation in the Parallaxes^^ 
by rcafon as well of the Rcfraftions of the Air, whichenvirons the Earth , 
as of the Alteration of the Air, which encofopafles the Moon,that the Horns 
of the Sun, there formed by the Shaddow of the Moon, appeared in all kinds*^
