Places of the Comet, and thofe computed from fuch 
Elements as I have already collected from my own 
Obfervations. 
I firft faw the Comet on the i yth of February 1737, 
between Six and Seven in the Evening, when its 
Nucleus appear’d fmall and indiftinft, and its Tail (ex- 
tending above a Degree from the Body) pointed towards 
the Star in Lino Auftral . Fifcium , marked £ by Bayer. 
Applying my Micrometer to a good feven Foot Tube, 
I obferved, that at 7 Hours, 3 2 Minutes Temp. Mquat. 
the Comet preceded the laid Star 1 Degree, 1 Mi- 
nute, 40 Seconds, in Right Afcenfion, and was 20 
Minutes, 20 Seconds more Southerly than the Star. 
Note , That the equal Time is likewife made ufe of 
in all the following Obfervations. 
Afiuming the Place of this Star, as it is fettled in 
the Britijb Catalogue , (as I fhall likewife the Places 
of others hereafter mentioned) it follows, that the 
Comet's Right Afcenfion was 23 Degrees, 58 Minutes, 
o Seconds, and its Declination 1 Degree, 31 Minutes, 
yy Seconds, North. 
February 1 7. 7 Hours, 33 Min. the Comet followed 
a in Nodo Lin. Fifcium 31 Min. 2y Sec. in Right 
Afcenfion, and was y2 Min. 30 Sec. more Northerly. 
Hence the Comet's Right Afcenfion was 27 Deg. 38 
Min. 20 Sec. and its Declination 2 Deg. 21 Min. 
10 Sec. North. 
February 18. 7 Ho. 14 Min. a fmall Star (whofe 
Right Afcenfion was afterwards found to be 29 Deg. 
o Min. y Sec. and Declination 2 Deg. y8Min. 30 Sec. 
North) preceded the Comet 24 Min. o Sec. in Right 
Afcenfion, and was iy Min. 30 Sec. more Northerly. 
Hence- the Comet's Right Afcenfion was 29 Deg, 
24
