By comparing the end with Mr. 
Malkelyne’s obfervation at Green- 
wich, the difference of meridians 
comes out 1'’ 44' 6" of time. = 
26° i' 30" eaft, or difference of 
longitude of my obfervatory from 
Greenwich to the eall. From 
whence the longitude of the point 
called the North Cape is 25° 49' 
call of Greenwich. 
Clouds came on, fo that I faw the Sun no more til) J** 38^ o" per cloclc, and it broke away 
Very clear, and continued clear to the end, which was at 3'’ 48' 19" per clock, or 22’’ 59' 17" 
apoarent time. The air being very clear, the end fecmed certain to about two feconds. 
I'hc telcfcope ufed was a relledlor of 2 feet focus, made by Mr. Dollond ; and the magni- 
fying power, applied for the ingrefs of Venus, and the beginning and end of the folar cclipfe, 
Was ICO. I'hc magnifying power ufed wdth the micrometer, was 50.
