But to proceed to the Occultations ^ that may be made by 
the Moon , of the leffer Lights 5 I fliall take notice ^ That 
thofe Stars, that have not above 6 d, 10 m. Latitude from the 
EcUpicki may ail of them, fome time or other, be cover'd 
by the Moon 3 in her pafling through iht^odiack t Of which 
fort I havenumbred, from the T^- 
chonkk Catalogues ^ the Stars fo ly- 
ing as you fee in the annex'd Ta- 
ble : And I find in the Zediack 1 
with 6 in the Pleiades , 12 in the 
Northern 5 and 5 inSouthernCon- 
ftellations, p!ac'd otit of the Eclip- 
tick > the total is 212. Of thefe 
the Moon frequently hides one or o- 
ther, yet no notice taken of it by 
the Efhemerides of our Aftrolo- 
gers. 
It would be too large a labour for 
one man to undertake the calcula- 
ting of all the Occultations obfer- 
vable in this year 5 nor is it perhaps 
fo needful i for, the Stars of the 
5 th and 6th Magnitude are more nu- 
merous j nor fo accurately (I doubt) 
re^iified, and the Moon approach- 
ing them within 4 or 5 degrees , ab- 
fconds them to the naked eye > and 
if the Obfervation be undertaken with a Telefcope , other 
fmaller Stars may be miftaken for thofe , the Calculm in- 
tends 5 and fo both the Obfervsr deluded ^ and the Art prc- 
;adiced, 
aBut the Moon will feveral times this year cover two noted 
Fix d Stars ^ of which, that I may gratifie the Curious ^ and 
excite the Induftrious to the like endeavors , I fliall give here 
the Calculus ot the Occultations and Tranfics, from the Cmlm 
Tables,
