continued one, as it was 2 5, he nlearured to the middle of 
it 5 as alfo when the pieces were divided,but not far disjoyned: 
Afterwards, when ihey were feparated confiderably, heob- 
ferved the middle of the bigger Spot, which was to 1 he South, 
apparently, I fuppofe 5 but really, Norrh : for fo only his Ob- 
fervations will agree with thofe of Mr. F/amJiead exaftly. 
Hence it teems very evident ( Tairh Mn Flamjlead, ) 
that the Spots way v\'as not inclined to the Ecliptick fixer 
feven degrees , as Schewer znd foroe others make it, but much 
lefs, by the joynt confent of the obfervations of both oar Ob- 
fervers. Mr. Hal/y adds ^ that confidering the motion of the 
* Spot crofs the Suns difque, as both their ObfervAtionsgive it^ 
^ it appears, that the Latitude was not fo great at its Entrance 
* into the Sun as in the Middle of him. And by Mr. FUmJieads 
*Obfervation it wasgreateft on the firft of Augujl ^ and then 
^ again inclining towards the Ecliptick. Jf you grant this, it 
^ will follow, (infers Mr,Fiar/f/lead) that the Suns ^jf^ was in- 
^clined to the plain of th^ Orbpf t^Vlagigfis ; but the quantity 
' of this Inclination oJuft not be very great. The AW^'j' of 
* the Suns Equinox and Ecliptick he gueffes to be not far from 
'the beginning of Cancer and Capricorn \ and that from Q;;f^r 
^ to Capricorn the Earth is North of the Suns Equator ; from 
' Capricorn 10 Cancer , South of the fame: And the period of 
* the Suns revolution in refpeft of the fixed Stars 25 daies, 
* 9^ hours fuflSciently exaft. Of which things, thefe two Ob- 
fervers fay , they might have been more certain , had not the 
Spot in its paflage broken into fo many parts, and thofe often 
vatied their pofitions to each other. Thcfe Conjeflures though 
probable , yet when another of the Wkc ph^enomena appms^ 
will ftiUdcfcrve thefurtherconfideraiionof the Curious.
