of the Track, feemiog to have been occafion’d by 
fbme Explofion there; and by'what he could learn from 
thofe that faw it, it was thereabout that it broke out, 
and 6rft began to efface the Scars. Hence it proceed-

nated about § in the Breaft of the fame, nearly in 
gr. of Right-Afcenfion, with gr. South Declina- 
tion: and at the place of its Extindlion there remained 
a large whitilh Nebula, much broader and of a Wronger 
Light than the reft of the Track, which he took for 
a certain Indication of a very great Explofion made 
there. By Computation it will be found that the An- 
gle this Track made with the Horizon of Oxford was 
neareft r\ogr. and its Interfedtion due SSPV; and 
that the place of its Extinffion was about 9 gr. above 
the Horizon, in the Azimuth of ^^gr. to the 
At Worcejler Mr. Nicola! Fatio, a Perfon greatly 
skill’d in Aftronomical Affairs, faw this Meteor defcend 
obliquely towards the South, making an Angle with 
the Horizon of about 65°, and interfe^ling it about

Pent up by him, and communicated to the Royal So- 
defy, Teeming to be defign’d with fufficient Exadncfs. 
By this the Track left all Orior! and Caais major to the 
Wcftward, and divided the Diftance between Sirius 
and Procyon, To as to be almoft twice as far from Pro- 
tyon as Sirius. The Time here was one Minute before 
Eight, this City being about 9' of Time to the Weft 
, of London, and confequently the Right-Afcenfion of the
