fame days, when the Sun was on the meridian, and 
to appearance more ftrongly defined, yet obfcured. 
g. A little before fun-fetting, I have often feen the 
edge of the Sun with fuch protuberances and in- 
dentures, as have rendered him, in appearance, a 
very odd figure ; the protuberances (hooting out far 
beyond, and the indentures prefling into, the difk ot 
the Sun, and always through a telefcope magnifying 
fifty-five times, the lower limb has appeared with a 
red glowing arch beneath it, and clofe to the edge of 
the Sun, whilft the other parts have been clear. _ 
10. At fun-fetting, fuch protuberances and in- 
dentures have appeared to Aide or move along t e 
vertical limbs, from the lower limb to the higher, 
and there vaniihing, fo as often to form a fegment of 
the Sun’s upper limb apparently feparated from the 
difk, for a fmall fpace of time. 
11. At fun-rifing, I have often feen the j llke P r °~ 
tuberances, indentures, and dices, above defcribed ; 
but with this difference of motion, that at fun-rifing 
they firft appear to rife in the Sun’s upper limb, and 
Hide or move downward to the lower limb j or, which 
is the fame thing, they always appear at the riling and 
fetting of the Sun, to keep in the fame parallels of 
altitude, by the telefcope. This property has been 
many times fo eafily difcernible, even by the naked 
eye, that I have obferved the Sun’s upper limb to 
fhoot out towards right and left, and move own 
ward, forming the upper part of the difk an apparent 
portion of a leffer fpheroid than the lowei part at 
rifing, and the contrary at fetting. Through the te- 
lefcope, this has appeared more plain, m proportion 
to the power of magnifying. .
