and is without a radiant Beam ; this never rifes in England, 
but at this time its Place is w $°\ with 35°^- South Lac. 
A Fifth was difeovered by Mr. G. Kirch in the Year 
1681, preceding the Right Foot of Ant incus: It is of its 
felf but a fmail obfeure Spot, but has a Star that fhines 
through it, which makes it the more luminous. The 
Longitude of this is at prefent vy. 9 0 . circiter, with 17°?. 
North Latitude. 
The Sixth and Iaft was accidentally hit upon by M. Edm. 
Halley in theConftebation of Hercules , in the Year 1 714. 
It is nearly in a Right Line with £ and w of Bayer , fome- 
what nearer to £ than n : and by comparing its Situation 
among the Stars, its Place is fufficiently near in "t i6°r. 
with 57 0 . 00. North. Lat. This is but a little Patch, but 
it ihews it felf to the naked Eye, when the Sky is ferene 
and the Moon abfent. 
There are undoubtedly more of thefe which have not 
yet come to our Knowledge.and fome perhaps bigger but 
though all thefe Spots are in Appearence but little, and 
mod of them but of few Minutes in Diameter; yetfince 
they are among the Fixt Srars, that is, fince they have 
no Annual Parallax, they cannot fail to occupy Spaces im- 
menfely great, and perhaps not lefs than our whole Solar 
Syftem. In all thefe (o vaft Spaces it Ihould feem that 
there is a perpetual uninterrupted Day, which may fur- 
nilh Matter of Speculation, as well to the curious Natu- 
ralifl; as to the Aftronomer.
