my difcovering it $ for this Light was very faint, com- 
pared with that which appeared upon the Sun’s Arch 
near the fame Place the Moment it was uncovered, 
and the Annulus completed. 
Moil of thofe who obferved the Eclipfe with Te- 
lefaxes, mention in their Letters, that as the Annulus 
was forming, they perceived the Light to break in 
feveral irregular Spots near the Point of Contad, and
