From the Obfervation at Crosby the Centre of the 
annular Penumbra Teems to have entered Scotland not 
far from Irwine. It proceeded afterwards towards the 
Eaft, with a confiderable Inclination Northwards 5 and 
probably left Scotland not far from Montrofe on the 
Eaft Coaft : For the Reverend Mr. Auchterlony found, 
that the annular Appearance continued there feven 
Minutes, as near as he could judge by an ordinary 
Watch. The Annulus alfo appeared to him of an uni- 
form Breadth, through a common Tclefcope. This 
Obfervation, though not fo exaft as that at Crosby , is 
however confirmed by that at St. Andrew’s , to be 
mentioned afterwards. Thefe two Obfervations at 
Crosby and Montrofe , were made nearer the Path of 
the Centre, than any others that have been communi- 
cated to me. 
As for the Southern Limit of this Appearance, the 
Eclipfe was not Annular at Newcajile , and there 
wanted about 40 Degrees of the Limb of the Sun to 
appear in order to form an Anmdus y according to the 
Obfervation of Mr. Ifaac Thomfon , communicated to 
me by Mr. Blake , a Gentleman of the County of 
\ Durham , who was prefent with us at Edinburgh 
during our Obfervation. The whole Duration of the 
Eclipfe was f o Seconds lefs by his than by our Obfer- 
vation 5- and the bigger Spot was hid 1 Ho. 5? Min>. 
jySec. by his Obfervation,. the Digits eclipfed at its 
Immerfion 7,7 * at its Emerfion 4, 1. Nor was the 
Eclipfe Annular at Morpeth , whence Mr. John Will - 
Jon writes, that the Body 6f the Moon appeared almoft 
intirely on that of the Sun j and that, to the naked. 
Eye, the Disk of the Sun Teemed to be aimoft round.
