( 49 ) 
I have not yet heard that this Comet was feen be- 
fore GBober 6 . although it was in a proper Situation 
to have been obferved in the Morning, mod part of 
September, efpecially from the 1 ime it was in its Pe- 
rihelion, hill near the End of that Month. For about 
that Time it eroded the Milky-way between the Malt 
of the Ship and the Head of the great Dog, palling 
between the bright Stars in the Body and Tail of 
the great Dog, towards the Head of the Dove, 
were it was about September 29. being by that time 
got fo far towards the South-Pole, as not to rife 
above our Horizon. From thence it palfed under 
the Tail of Xiphias within about 15° of the South 
Pole of the Ecliptick \ and moving on between the 
Head of Hydrus and the bright Star in Eridanus cal- 
led Acarnar , it went by the Stars in the Body and 
Neck of the Crane about Otlober 5. when it came 
again above our Horizon. From hence palling under 
the Tail of the Southern Filh, and between the Stars 
in the Shoulder of Capricorn , it eroded the Ecliptick, 
OHober 8. in about 8° * of Aquarius . From thence 
it moved on by the Hands of Aquarius and Antinous 
towards the Head of the Eagle, according to its Courfe 
before deferibed. 
The Comet was in Oppofition to the Sun OElob. 1. 
when it had near 74 0 Southern Latitude, and alter’d 
its Longitude two Signs in a Day. About Otfober 3. 
it wasin its Perigoeon, or neared; Didance to the Earth, 
being then almod ten times nearer to it than the 
Sun 'is at its mean Didance \ and its apparent Motion 
was then about 2c 0 in a Day, and when I lad faw 
it, ’twas above twice as far off as the Sun.
