lm 31,7 miles, and the perpendicular height not quite 
half a mile. 
7 h. 45'. I was defirous of being very exadt in this 
meafure, therefore I repeated it, I took two different ob- 
fervations. A narrow meafure 21^,562; quite full 
enough 2 4", 06 2. Thefe meafures give the perpendicu- 
lar height lefs than half a mile. 
8h. I meafured Lipulus, i9"o63- It is alfo badly 
fituated, though rather better than Antitaurus. I found 
that the projection increafed, therefore concluded that 
this was not the highefl part of the mountain, and 
waited fome time when I meafured it again. 
9I1. Lipulus now projected 28", 75, 
1 oh. It meafured 2 8^,7 5: this gives on — 33,64 
miles. Diftance of Sun and Moon about 63° 23k there- 
fore, lm 37,54 miles. From hence we find the perpen- 
dicular height ,64 mile, or very near two-thirds of a 
mile. 
March 1 2, 1 7 80, yh. One of the Apennine mountains, 
between Lacus Trafimenus and Pontus Euxinus pro- 
jected 44", 062. This gives us on — 5 r,i 1 miles; and 
lm = 52,9 miles: therefore the perpendicular height of 
thefe mountains, which I know to be very high, comes 
out to be 1 ~ mile.
