3 Ho. 2f Min. the End of this Appearance at 3 Ho, 
31 Min. and the End of the Eclipfe at 4 Ho. 44 Min. 
and a half. His Lordfhip was obliged to obferve the 
'Eclipfe at a Diftance from the Clock, and to deter- 
mine the Times by a Pocket Watch, that had been ad- 
jured by a very good Dial that Day at 12 o’Clock > 
but allures me, that the Duration of the annular Ap- 
pearance was fix Minutes, as near as could be judged 
by a Watch that did not fhew the Seconds. The Moon 
appeared to touch the larger Spot above-mentioned at 
3 Ho.^ 4 Min. and covered it in about half a Minute. 
The Emerfion of the fame Spot was at 4 Ho. 13 Min. 
A lefler Spot, higher on the Sun's Disk, was not covered 
till 1 1 Minutes after the greater Spot, but appeared 
xather fooner than it. 
At Crosby y on the Weft Coaft of Scotland , about 
four Miles North from Air , Mr. Fnllarton obferved 
the Eclipfe to begin at two o'Clock. A difttnft An- 
nulus was formed about 20 Minutes after Three, which 
continued exaftly feven Minutes, mcafured by a Pen- 
dulum vibrating Seconds. It appeared rather broader 
on the lower Verge of the Sun ; but the Difference 
muft have been very fmall, for it was but barely dif- 
cernible in a Species of the Eclipfe fix Inches over, caft 
on a Piece of Paper behind the Eye-piece of a Tele- 
feope fix Feet long. He adds, that the Day-light was 
not greatly obfeured, appearing only fo much dimmer 
than ufual, as that of the Sun is, when feen through 
a very gentle Mift in a fine Morning in April or May . 
Sir Thomas Wallace found that the annular Appear- 
ance continued at his Houfe near Lockryan in Gallo - 
way five Minutes.
