The watch went very regular fider. time. 
— Hence the eclipfe ended at 8 h 2l / 59 " 
app. time, in the forks of the river Bran- 
di wine. 
N. B. The edge of the earth’s fhadow on the D ’s dijfk was the belt defined I ever 
faw : it was remarkably diftindd from the penumbral fhade. 
N. B. The clock was firmly ferewed to a piece of timber, 22 inches in breadth, 
and five inches and a quarter thick ; the faid piece of timber was let four feet into the 
ground, which was cornpofed of a very firm, dry, hard clay. 
The clock was placed in a tent, with Fahrenheit’s thermometer hung to its fide ; am! 
a blanket was wraped round the clock and thermometer, to fecure it from any wind 
that might enter the tent. The pendulum was adjufted to the upper fcratch, with 
N° 3. at the Index, as dircdled by the Rev. Mr. Mafkelyne, Affronomer Royal : but the 
fpring at the fufpenfion of the pendulum having been broke, (when the fhip, in which it 
was lent, was wrecked on the Jerfey coafl) wecannotbecertain that the pendulum is now 
of the fame length as it was when fent from London. 
Thofe obfervations marked : are a little' dubious ; thofe marked :: are very dubious ;
