The following obfervations were made with the 
1 8 feet telefcope : 
h / // 
o 34 47 The contad of the 6ccidental limbs. 
{Venus, almoft got off, is covered with a 
5 2 5 1 cloud. 
r 2 23 It is ftill feen, but little; another cloud. 
[The Sun’s difk feems ftill a little altered; but 
rn 1 8 < this perception is faint, and a new cloud 
[ prevents my making a better obfervation. 
54 21 The tranfit is certainly ended. 
I found the latitude of my obfervatory to be 
19 0 40' 40" fouth. 
As for the longitude, the following obfervations 
are the only ones, which the fky, almoft conftantly 
cloudy, in the night-time, permitted me to make, 
imidft the tumult of arms. 
June 9. An immerfion of a in tR, under the dark 
difk of the Moon, 8 h 46' 24". The immerfion cer- 
tainly did not come fooner ; but, on account of a light 
cloud, which then paffed over the Moon, it might 
have happened a little later. The doubt, however, 
cannot extend beyond 1" of time. The ftar paffed 
to the north of the Moon’s center. I could not fee 
the emerlion, becaufe of the clouds. I made ufe of 
the 9 feet telefcope. . 
June 21 A very uncertain obfervation or an im- 
merfion of 6 in A, at 9 h 39' i 6"4- I thought to 
have had before a fight of the ftar ; but dare not 
affirm it. At io b 10' 45 "> the emerfion was cer- 
tainly obferved, with the fame telefcope.
