4- An Obfervation of the Eclipfe of the Moon, Sept. 
8, 1736. made in Hudfon\r-Bay, by Capt. Chrifto- 
pher Middleton, F. R. S. 
B Eing in Hudforis-Bay , in the Latitude yy De- 
grees 34 Minutes, North, and on the Meridian 
of the North-Bear-IJland , which lies 30 Miles to the 
Weftward of Charlton , I obferv’d a total Eclipfe of 
the Moon on Sept. 8, 1736. The Weather was very 
clear, but the Motion of the Sea render’d my Tele- 
fcope ufelefs, and I mifs’d the Beginning. 
In order to re&ify my Watch, and be certain of 
the true Time, I took three feveral Altitudes next 
Morning, and one in the Afternoon, by Mr. Had- 
ley s and Mr. Smith's Quadrants 5 wiiich (having made 
proper Allowances for the Refraction of the Atmo- 
fphere and the Height that I flood above the Surface 
of the Sea) were as follows :
