2. Behm€s Observations (fthe Annular Eclipse of the Sun^ 
of the ^th May 1818.—- “ Proceeding on my voyage, the next 
day, at about a league before we reached Acmin, on the 5th 
May 1818, at 8 o’clock in the morning, I saw the finest eclipse I 
ever beheld. The moon at its full passed completely before 
the sun. The eclipse lasted about three quarters of an hour ! 
1 saw the full moon in the centre of the sun, which formed a 
disc or ring. The moon appeared to me in the proportion of 
about half the size of the sun P Narrative of Operations^ &c. in
