iPednefdi^^ Jtf^^e the 30th, At eight a Clock thkMorn-^ 
uw, obferving the Solar Spots with my 18 foot Teller- 
cope, I perceived very plain that they had wonderfully 
increafed in Number , and ftrangely changed their 
places. The Clufter of fcven Spots feem'd to me to 
move gradually, as the fingk Solar^ Spot did in Ma^^ 
but the Clufter 4 went too faft forward, the 12 Spots 
without a Mift about them ftraggled all manner of ways, 
and the 9 Spots and the 5 black little ones went back- 
ward, and unbent itfelf at the fame time as it were into 
a ftraight line. I am apt to believe it went backward^ 
as that the other went too faft, or fafter than ordinary 
forward, for in 24 hours the foremoft Clufter advanced 
31 feconds of Time, which is more by fix feconds than 
ever the fingle Spot moved in that time, even when 
neareft the Sun s Center 5 arid the diftance in tkrre be- 
tween the firft and the laft Clufter this day wa« greater 
by 3 feconds than the day before. 
The foremoft Clufter of 4 Spots was diftant from the 
advancing Limb of the Sun 60 feconds of Time. 
At half an hour paft 4 the advancing Clufter pafi'd the 
*interfedion in 55 feconds of Time^ after the Siin's fore- 
moft Limb had pafled Conformable to the Spots path ^ 
and the laft Spot pafled in 63 feconds of Time, the laft 
Limb paffing the interfeftion, according to the Path of 
the Spot, in 12.6 feconds of TTime, the Siins largeft Dia- 
meter palBng in ig6 feconds, the Spots by this time i^p- 
peared ftrangcly black, and of very odd ftiapes, as in the 
upper part of the Circle.

ing I obferved the Solar Spots with my eighteen foot 
Tclefcope, the Weather being good, and faw that they 
had rang'd themfelves in Refpeft of one another, is
