I Have fent you, as you defired, the Scheme of the 
T^arhelion^ with all the Notes that I cou’d take in 
the fliort Time it continued, having been only out oc- 
cafionally, without any Inflrument to compute the 
Proportions, or take Angles ; fo that my Obfervation 
cannot be exadt, but only approach the Truth. 
However I can recoiled nothing material, that I have 
omitted. 
A. The Place of the Sun, being nearly Weft about 
IX or 13 D. above the Horizon, being about an Hour 
before Sun-fet. 
B. The luminous Spot, being about 30 D. to the South- 
ward of the Sun, as near as I cou’d compute, hav- 
ing no Inftrument to take the Angle, and in the lame 
Parallelof Altitude ; the Spot was not fo well defin’d 
as in the Scheme, being more imperceptibly lhaded 
off in the Cloud, the two lemicircular Lines next the 
Sun were thole tinged with the Colours ; the near- 
eft the Sun being of a deep Scarlet, the inner one a 
deep yellow, both the Colours being Ibftned as 
they fell off from the Sun, all the reft of the Spot 
being an intenfe Light, lb as the naked Eye cou’d 
fcarce bear it. 
C. The other Spot to the Northward, which appear- 
ed fometime after that marked B, being not quire lb 
large, nor the Colours fo intenfe, but the fame way 
dilpoled, thofe next the Sun being red, the next yel- 
low, and the reft white. 
D. A Spot in the Cloud, as it moved Southwardly, till 
it came to about 60 D. Diftance from the Sun, which 
had the Colours as in the other Spots, that next 
the Sun being red, the next yellow, but much fainter 
than in the Tarhelia.
