138 Mr. Schroeter/s new Observations 
Between the projecting point and the enlightened side, there 
was often to be perceived, and equally with all magnifying 
powers, a light greyish shade, which seemed to divide the 
point. Soon after the weather became cloudy. 
March 23 d, 6 b 37', the atmosphere having cleared up much, 
but the air being still not very favourable, I found, with the 
same magnifying powers, an exactly similar appearance ; but an 
hour afterwards, the northern horn ran out in the same manner 
into a point , and projected as far as the southern, so that the phce- 
nomena were no longer the same. Soon afterwards it became 
cloudy. 
March 26th, 6 h io' p. m. the weather having cleared up 
again, I saw both horns equally pointed, with the same magni- 
fying powers. 
7* 30', the same . 
8* 15', also the same. This too agrees with the period of ro- 
tation, according to which the phaenomena, observed on the 
22d and 23d at 7 h and 6 h 37', could not be visible again at the 
times here noted down. 
March 2jth, 1 T to n h 40' a.m. both horns equally pointed, 
and, as usual, no spots. With a reference to my former re- 
marks, I had proposed to observe Venus every hour through- 
out the day ; but it grew cloudy. 
At 6 b 30' p. m. the sky having cleared in the part where 
Venus was, I found in like manner both horns equally pointed. 
At 7 11 30' p. m . the same. 
March 28 th, \o h forenoon, with lbo, 209, and 288, both horns 
were pointed, without any striking difference. 
iT 15', with the same, both horns equally pointed. 
g 30', the same ; even with a magnifying power of 370 times.
