In this Occultation, as in the preceding ^ the Cen- 
ter of the Moon pafles very near the Star, fo that we 
may well hereby define , as was advertifed in the lafi: 
Occultation , both of her Diameter ^ and ot the pla- 
ces and ^equations of her Nodes. For in this^ at 1 2 h. 
aS m. 42 fee. P. M. the mean Node was in Aries i^d. 
I p 34/^^« and the aequation of the Node to be ad- 
ded , 26 m. 2 fee. which makes the true Node Aries 
jpd. 46 2 6 fee. But in that of Mareh 2 at 16 
^pm. ^2 fee. the mean Node was in Aries 23^. 
^pm. '^ifee. the aequation was 55;;/. 59/^^- to be 
fubftra^led ; fo the true Node was in Aries 22 d. 45 
m. ^^fee. Now if this Equation of the Nodes fliould 
be neglefted, it might make about 5 min. difference of 
the Latitudesjwhich I have here collefted. The Inge- 
nuous therefore will obferve with all poffible accuracy, 
both under what (pots of the Moon the Stars (hall en- 
ter and emerge in thefe and all other Occulcations j 
and they will note the Times exaftly, confidering the 
benefit , that will thence accrue to Aftronomy. The 
Obfervers muft not content themfelves with the times 
acquired by Clocks or re6l:ified Watches , but alfo 
take the Altitudes of fome fixt Star, free from Re- 
fra&ion ^ and remov*d from the Meridian both at the 
beginning and end of the Occultations,with exad In- 
ftruments of Brafs well divided. 
So far this diligent Author for this time. T'he other 
■particulars , eontained in hi6 Papers , m'ay perhaps be 
publifht hereafter. We were to referee a part of this 
T,raH for fome other Commmieations.
