1 have already mentioned the Obfervation at Mont - 
rofe . At Aberdeen the Annulus was obferved by Mr. 
John Stewart 7 Math. Prof, for 3 Min. 2 Sec. It was 
almoft central, when the Clouds deprived him of any 
further View of it; he thinks it probable, that it con- 
tinued there about fix Minutes. Several Gentlemen, 
who live on the Coaft Northwards from Aberdeen y 
were defired to obferve the Continuance of the An- 
nulus ; but I do not find that any of them faw this Phe- 
nomenon from the Beginning to its End. 
At Elgin , the Eclipfe was obferved Annular at 3 Ho. 
29 Min. the larger Part of the Ring being uppermoft, 
by the Reverend Mr. Irwin , who had a View of it 
for about 30 Seconds; but by reafon of intervening 
Clouds could not determine the Beginning or End of 
this Appearance. At Caftle Gordon, Mr. Gregory had 
one View of the Eclipfe while it was annular, but 
could make no further Obfervation for the fame 
Reafon. 
At InvernefSy the Eclipfe was annular for fome 
Minutes, as I am informed by feveral Gentlemen ; but 
they did not meafure the precife Time how long it 
continued. By the Accounts I have had from Fort 
Auguflus and Fort William , it is doubtful whether 
the Eclipfe was annular in thofe Places or not. Fort 
Augufius is at the Weft End of Lochnefs , and probably 
was not far from the Northern Limit of this Fhtfno- 
menon . I have as yet received no Accounts of this 
Appearance from any Place further Northwards, or 
from any Place in the Weft, but thofe I have men- 
tioned. Some Gentlemen in Argylefbire, who ob- 
ferved this Eclipfe, were deprived of a View of the 
Annulus by the Clouds.
