its Declination io° $i' 3": Therefore the Comet’s 
right Afcenfion was 339 0 1 1' 25'"} and its Declina- 
tion io° i' North. 
Feb. 1 2d 6^ 33') The Comet followed (Q Fegaf 
5 6' 45" of right Afcenfion ; and was more foutherly 
than the Star 44' 42". The right Afcenfion of (Q, 
by the Greenwich Obfervations at that time, was 
337® 1 o' 15"; its polar Diftance 8o Q 29' 53". Hence 
the Comet’s right Afcenfion was 338° 7' oo /f ; and 
its Declination 8° 45' 25" North. 
Feb. 13d 6h 25') The Comet preceded (p) Fegafi 
7° 41' 31" in right Afcenfion } and was more foutherly 
than the Star 1' 13": The right Afcenfion of the 
Star, at that time, was 344° 41' 55"$ its Polar Di- 
fiance 82° 40': Whence the right Afcenfion of the 
Comet was 3 3 7 0 o' 24"; and its Declination 
7° 18' 47 /; North. 
This was the laft Obfervation made at Oxford ; the 
Comet being now fo near the Sun, and withal fo 
low in the Evening, that the great Difficulty of find- 
ing any Star to compare it with, made us defift from 
attempting it again j however, the prodigious Bright- 
nefs it acquired, by its near Approach to the Sun, 
made it vifible in the Day-time. And at Sherborn , 
Feb. i6d 23^ 42' 4) Its right Afcenfion, by the 
Tranfit Inftrument, was found to be 3 3 3 0 13' 53"; 
and its Declination o° 2' 40" South. 
Feb . i7 d 2 3 h 36') The right Afcenfion was ob* 
ferved 3 3 2 0 3 3' 20"; and its Declination 2° 29' 00". 
By the Help of thefe Obfervations, which were 
made by the Rev. Mr. Profeffor Blifs (the Tranfts 
excepted taken at Sherborn ), I was enabled, by 
the Method delivered in the third Book of the 
N Frincipia ,
