Right Afcenfion was 6 4 Deg. 27 Min. 40 See, and 
Declination 9 Deg. 13 Min. o Sec. North. 
The fame Night, at 9 Ho. o Min. the Comet pre- 
ceded d Tauri 47 Min. 40 Sec. in Right Afcenfion, 
and was 22 Min. 50 Sec. more Southerly. Hence firs 
Right Afcenfion was 64 Deg. 50 Min. 20 Sec. and De- 
clination 9 Deg. 12 Min. 35'Sec. North. 
March 20. 8 Ho. y Min. the Comet preceded d 
Tauri o Min. 30 Sec. in Right Afcenfion, and was 
16 Min. 3 y Sec. more Southerly than the Star. Hence 
its Right Afcenfion was 6y Deg. 17 Min. 30 Sec. and 
Declination 9 Deg. 18 Min. yoSec. North. 
March 22. 8 Ho. iy Min. the Comet followed the 
fame Star 1 Deg. 36 Min. 10 Sec. in Right Afcenfion, 
and was 3 Min. yo Sec. more Southerly. Hence its 
Right Afcenfion was 66 Deg. y4 Min. 10 Sec. andDe- 
clination 9 Deg. 31 Min. 3ySec. North. 
This was the laft Night that I faw the Comet; for the 
Moon being then in her Increafe, intirely obftruded 
its further Appearance. TheLight of the Comet was 
indeed (even in the Moon's Abfence) fo very weak, 
that 1 found it difficult, in fome of the latter Obfer- 
vations, to take its Place with any tolerable Certainty; 
which is, in part, the Caufe of fome little Difagree- 
ment obfervable in the Cornet's Places taken from the 
fame Stars on different Nights; though there are like- 
wife other Irregularities that occur in this Series of Ob- 
fervations, which feem to arife from fmail Errors in 
the affirmed Places of the Fixt Stars. 
Suppofing the Trajedory deferibed by this Comet 
to be nearly ^Parabolical^ conformable to what Sir 
Ifaac Newton has delivered in the third Book of his 
Princip. Math . I colled from the foregoing Obfer- 
P 2 various.
