looked upon with the short Glaß, and darker when seen with the long.

Without it there were other Points, but very black ones; vi%. Five near theround Spot on the South-sidc, and another near the Scorpion s Tail on theNorth-side.

At 8 a Clock and 48'. the Figure os the Scorpion was sien divided intosiveral pieces, as if his Tail and Arms had been cut off. The NorthernPoint appear’d no more, there remaining none but thole on the South-Iide ;and the length of the enclofure of all the Spots, comprehended between theEbftremhies, was of i'. 15". and the Breadth of 30'.

The sime x ith Day, at 6 in the Evening, he found no great Change inthe firfl Spot. The other two were severed into 5 distinct ones, conipafs’dabo.ut with a Coronet, together with 5 black Points, which stood in a streightrow, and aster another manner than they did in the Morning. From 6 atNight unto 7, the time between the paflage of the Sun s Center, and thatof the Coronet % Limb, was found to be one thue, of 8". and another timeof 74. The Distance of the Spots unto the Parallel, pailing through theSuns Center, was near the sime on the North-fide with what it had been ob-served to be in the Morning on the South-hde.

Aug. 13. Between the Rifing of the Sun, and half an Hour past 6 inthe Morning, the edge of the Coronet was turned to a Point on the South-fide, and was distant from the /Equator on the North-fide, half a Minute;and there was but a Second of Time from the paflage of the Syn$ Centerunto the paflage of the sime anterior edge of the Coronet.

At 8 a Clock, 30'. the fore-edge was in the sime Horary Circle with theCenter of the Sun so that in one Day and an half, these Spots have runthrough very near the third part of the Sutis Apparent Semidiameter, whichgiveth an Arch of 19 Degrees and an half of the Circumference of the SunsBody ; and confequently their Diurnal Motion about the Suns Axe hathbeenof 1 z Degrees ; and the time of their Periodical Revolution, as far as wecould conjecture in lo little time, must be about 2.7 Days and an half

Aug. 14. At 6 in the Morning, there paß’d 15". of Time between the n. 79. f. 3020,paflage of the Anterior Limb of the Croton, and the paflage of the SunsCenter through the sime Horary Circle: And then the Southern Limb of theCroton was a Minute and an half distant, toward the North, from the Parallelof the /Equator, pailing through the sime Center of the Sun. The Figureof the first Spot was almost the sime with that of the Day before. The fe-cond had taken the form of an Heart, the point of which was turned to theNorth-fide, and its Base between the South and the Last. Three other final 1Spots, dilposed Triangle-wife, stood over the si id Base, and were accompa-nied with two others upon a Line turned Southward. And they were aliencompafled by a Croton running out into a point on the South-hde; and onthe North-fide, Eastward, it had an Appendix-.

Aug. I y. At 6 in the Morning, there pafled 27". between the paflage ofthe Anterior Limb of the Croton, and that of the Suus Center through thesime Horary Circle. The Southern Limb of the sime Crown was two »Minutes and an half distant from the Parallel of the Equator, pailing through
