the Sun’s Rifmg and, I fhall not take any further 
Notice of it ; but, if the Inhabitant will travel Eaft-

Latitude, he will fee the Sun, at making his fir ft 
Appearance from the Southern Tropic, rife due 
South at 12 0’ Clock; and. getting about half a De-

be 1 1 Degrees more or lefs than his Midnight Depref-
