Typus Eclipseos Solaris Observatae Julii 15, S. N. 4, S. V. Anno 1730. Witebergae Saxonum, a Joh. Frider. Weidler, J. U. D. Mathem. Prof. Ordin. Reg. Soc. Scientiar. Pruss. Sodali

Lastly, It might have happened that this little Leach came out of the Body of some small Fish into that of the Bonite, which had swallowed it. I made this Observation the 28th of July, 1724, in a Voyage from Batavia to Bengal. Explanation of the Figure Tab. I. Fig. 2. A, The Body, in its natural Bigness. B, The Belly, through which appear some black Lines, which are its Entrails. C, The Protuberance, with which it fastens itself. D, The Places where it places the Pump and Protuberance, when it moves along. E, The Head, under which is the Pump. The pricked Circles are to mark the Extent of the Motions of its Head and Belly.

ANNOTAT. I. Sol oriens figuram orbis monstrat ellipticam: diameter verticalis duobus digitis sive sexta sui parte contractior apparet horizontali. II. Memorabilis erat conspectus orbis Lunæ aspero margine praediti, quoad partem quae in occasum spectabat. Distincte enim cernabatur H. 4. M. 3. Vallis 1/2 diam. Lunæ profunda & ejusdem diam. circiter longa. In progressu eclipseos asperitas limbi Lunæ minuebatur, & adhaerente eidem fascia coerulea abscondebatur. Haec enim fascia sensim sole altius surgente dilatabatur. Tum praeter colorem coeruleum etiam puniceus Lunæ proprius incumbens in oculos incurrebat, & circa finem deliquii fasciae coloratae spissitudo trigesimæ trigesimæ sextæ partis diametri Lunaris prope par videbatur. III. Praeterea juxta Lunaris disce marginem coloratum perpetua Luminis solaris commotio notata est. IV. Observatio ejusdem Defectûs Solis habita Patavii, ab J. Poleno. ORIENTE Sole, Nubes tenues Finitorem quasi cingebant: quibus deinde evanescentibus, aer tantillum nebulosus fuit, ut maculae solares haud satis distincte apparerent. | Digit | Temp. | Ver. | |-------|-------|------| | Obscur. | | | | H. | 1 | 12 | | 4 | 16 | 46 | | 3½ | 16 | 48 | | 3 | 16 | 50 | | 2 | 16 | 57 | | 1 | 17 | 1 | | ½ | 17 | 3 | | Finis totius Obscur. | 17 | 6 | July 14, 1730.
