upright. Over the Comet in the fame Vertical was the Star of 6 Sl. of Bayer,or 2i. Tychoni, distant therefrom, by the Micrometer, exactly a Degree; and'a Line drawn from the Lucida in Lumbis Sl. to the Comet paffed much abouthalf a Degree to the Right-hand of the fäme 0 Leonis. The Distanceof theComet from Regulus taken by a Radius was about 17 0 . The next MorningSept. 9. at zk 58,. the Distance thereof from 0 Sl. was föund by the Micro-meter 2 0 23^-, and at 4T1 40', again 2° 25^. To verify the Times, theAltitude of the Lucida in Lumbis ct. was oblerv’d u° 1 c>, at 4h 8'. mane.A Right-line drawn by the Comet, and the seid 9 Leonis towards Ü Leonis, orthe Lucida Colli, lest that Star a little to the Right-hand.

This Comet was (ecn by a Countryman, who first gave Notice thereof,.from the 6th. to the 12th. of Sept.

The Reluit of thele Oblcrvations is, that the Comet was Direct in Motion,that it mov’d about 1* Degree per Diem, and that it leemcd rather to Dc-c rea se in Latitude. On the yth of Sept. it was about 24'. distant from 9 Leo-nis, but its bearing therefrom is not set down.

This Star, 9 Sl. was then in 9 0 i', of IK. with North Lat. 9° 41LWhence at the time of the first Obscrvation it may be Concluded, that the-Comet was in 9 0 f$'. of HE. with North Lar. 90 j s. And at the 2.d Obser-vation, the Longitude of the Comet will be found about 11° 10'. of a .E. withmuch the fame North Latitude asbefore.
