intelligent Aftrono&erS'oi France and Italy concurring with 
him therein., (whereas M. Hevelius to him Teems to (land An- 
gle., as to this particular) found by their Gbfervations, That 
this Comet could not, on that day of February^ be there where- 
M. Hevelius placet hit, viz,, in Vrima, Arietis > unlefs it be

cording to his, and his feverai Corrcfpondents Obfervations, 
the Comet on Febjr . 1 7. was diftant from that firft Staroi 
Aries at leaft 1 degree and 17 minutes, and on February 19* 
(he having miffed, as well as his other Friends, the Obf rva- 
tion on Febr . 1 8.) was advanced in its way 1 2 or 13 minutes, 
but yet diftant from the faid Star feme minutes above & whole 
degree , and confequently far from having then pafled it. 
After which time M. Auzout affirms to have feen it, as well as 
feverai others, for many days 3 and that until March : ob- 
ferving 3 That about Febr . 2 6. or 27, w’hen the Comet vras 
neareft to the often- mentioned firft of Aries , it approached 
not nearer thereunto, then at the diftance of 50 minutes. 
This important Difference between two very Learned* 
and very deferving Perfons, being come to the knowledge

hath been by them thought worthy their Examination : and 
they being at this very prefent employed in the difcuflion 
thereof, by comparing what hath been done and publifh’d 
by the Diffenters, and by confronting with them their own 
Domeftick Obfervation?, are very likely to difeern here 
the miitake lies S and having difeern’d it, will certainly be 
found highly impartial and ingenuous in giving their fenfe 
of the Time.
