From 31 minutes pad three, the fun was con- 
stantly obfcuredin a cloud, that defcended with him, 
till at 32' pad 4 he broke out into a fhort glimpfe of 
three minutes ; during which the diameter of $ was 
again meafured, and came out as before. One mi- 
crometer meafure more was alfo now attempted of the 
neared didance of the limbs, but the o got under a 
cloud before it was completed, to our great regret, as 
we wifhed to have at lead one more meafure at an 
hour’s didance from the red. More might have 
been taken during the fird half hour, after three ; 
but thofe that were taken are diffidently near each 
other, and any between diem would have been ufe- 
lefs for a projection, as thofe we have may be de- 
pended on. 
The following obfervations of another kind were 
all that Mr. Rittenhoufe could obtain, viz.
