Some time before the great fpot was immerged, 
there appeared two parts of the Moon’s circumference 
more protuberant than the reft, near the right hand 
horn; which fo remarkably interrupted the regula- 
rity of the curve, that it was taken notice of by all 
about me; and which, doubtlefs, was occafioned by 
“ two mountains upon the Moon’s furface, remarkably 
higher than the reft ; and I doubt not but the lame 
thing will have occurred to other obfervers. 
Mr. Smeaton was prevented, by clouds, from 
obferving the entrance of Venus upon the Sun, 
the evening before.
