Digits] by calling the Figure through a 5 foot Tetefeope , on In extended 
paper ,fix*t aft a certain diflanee from theEye-glaffe,and having a round figure- 
all whofe Diameters were divided, by 6 Concentric^ Circles, into 12 Digits 1 
T He Ofefervatiom made at Madrid by a Noble Member of the Royal Soci- 
ety, His Excellence the Earle of Sandwiches they were feat to the Right 
Honourable, the Lord Vice- Count Brounker , are thefe • 
The Eclipfe began at Madrid about 5 of the Clock in the morning, at 5 h* 
ay', the Suns Altitude was 6 deg. 55'. 
The Middle of it was at 6 h. 2*. the Suns Altitude , r 5'* deg. 
The End was exa&ly at 7 h. 5'-, the Suns Altitude , 25. deg. 24V 
The Duration, 2 h. 4'. 
37, Parts of the Suns diameter remained light. 
63. Parts of the fame were darkened. 
T He Obfervations made at Fans by Monfieur Payen , afiifted by feveraf 
Afironomers , as they were printed in French , and addrefled to Monfieur 
de Montmor \ are thefe ^ 
The began there, at 5 h. 44'. 52". It ended at 7 h. 43', 6'T 
So that its yphole Duration was 1 h 58'. 14". The greats# Obfcuration they 
afsign to have been 7. dig. $0. m» but they adde, that it Teem’d to have been 
greater by 3 minuts • which M. Payen imputes to a particular motion of Li- 
brarian of the Suns Globe, which entertain’d that Luminary in the fame Pha - 
fts for thefpace of 8» t nin. and feme feconds, as if it had been flopped in the 
midft of its Courfe- rather than to a tremulous Motion of the Atmofphere 9 
as Scheiner would have it* 
They intimate that they took the time of each Phafis from half digit to 
half digit 1 as well by a Pendulum , as by the Altitudes of the Suns Center a» 
bove the Horizon, corre&ed by the Verticall Paralaxes and t/£ flivall Re - 
f raft: ions, by which they judged, that though the Time by the Pendulum 
may be fufficient for Mechanicall Operations, yet *tis not exa& enough for 
eftablifhing the Grounds of true Aftrommy* 
They further conceive that the apparent Diameters w ere almoft equal- 
feeing that in the P hafts of 6. Digits, the Circumference of the Moons dis^ 
paRed through the Center of that of the Sun, fo as that two Lines drawn 
through the two Horns of the Sun, made with the Common Semi-diameter 
two Equilateral Triangles. 
Next, they affirm, That there was fo great a Variation in the Parallaxes] 
by reafon as well of the Refra&ions of the Air, which environs the Earth , 
as of the Alteration of the Air, which encoropafles the Moon, that the Hones 
of the Sun, there formed by the Shaddow of the Moon, appeared in all kinds 
©f Figure s Sometimes inclined to the Vertical, fometimes Perpendicular 
to the Horiion , and at laft Parallel-, the Cenvexe part refpeaingthe Heaven , 
and the Concave, the Horizon, By the crofsing { fo they go on ) of the
