1770. April 28, at 9 h 48' 13", apparent time, Mr. . 
Bradley and I, both at the fame inftant, obferved \ 
the immerfion of £ £5‘ by the Moon. The emer- 
fion was not taken. . By comparing this with Mr. 
Mafkelyne’s obfervation, our longitude comes out 
4' 23"! .Weft from Greenwich. 
Jjyo. July 2 1 ft is marked for an eclipfe of Jiiptiter’s 
fourth fatellite in the Nautical Almanac ; but the 
Gonnoiftance des Temps notes it as. a conjunction 
only, and remarks, that the fatellite would rafe 
the fbadow, without difappearing ; which we 
found to be true, for we both faw the fatellite 
the whole time which is marked for its dura- 
tion, though, at the middle, it appeared extremely 
faint. 
Thefe obfervations were made before our Obfer- - 
vatory was finifhed ; but that being completed in the 
month of September, and furnifhed with an excel- 
lent (though fmall) mural quadrant and tranfit in- 
ftrument, both made by that eminent artift Mr.. John 
Bird, we began to obferve meridian tranftts, from . 
which I fhall feleft thofe that were made lor deter- 
mining the folftices, and the oppoiitions of the three 
fuperiour planets, which I fin a 1 1 tranfcribe, juft as 
they . were taken, excepting only making the ne- 
ceffary allowance for the, .error of the. line, of col? - 
limation. 
Obfervations: 3
