Containing an Account of an Observation of an Eclipse of the Moon, on July 29, 1729, made in Barbados by Mr. Stevenson's Brother. He took care to regulate a very good Clock, and brought it to true Time about 14 Days before the Eclipse. On the Day it happened, he saw the Sun set, and found the Clock right, according to the mean Time, Refraction allowed. At the Beginning of the Eclipse, the Moon was clouded. At 7 H. 18 M. (in the Evening) apparent Time, he saw the Moon 2 Digits Eclipsed, about 30 Degr. to the left of its Nadir-Point. At 8 H. 11 M. she totally immersed into the Earth's Shadow, about 30 Degr. to the right Hand of her Vertical Point. At 9 H. 51 M. she emerged out of the Shadow, 79 or 80 Degr. to the left of her Nadir-Point. At 10 H. 50 M. the Eclipse ended, 88 Degr. to the right of her Vertical Point. In this, and all the other Observations he made of both Solar and Lunar Eclipses, during several Years he has been in Barba- dos, he found that they always happened 10 Mi- nutes sooner than his Computation. Whence he con- cludes, that that Island lies 2 Degr. and a Half more Westerly than is generally supposed. III. The Anatomical Preparation of Vegetables, by Albertus Seba, F. R. S. Communicated to the Royal Society by Sir Hans Sloane, Bart. Pr. R. S. and Col. Med. Lond. Translated from the German, by Mr. Zolman, F. R. S. TAKE Leaves of Trees or other Vegetables, that are somewhat substantial and tough, and have woody Fibres; as for Instance, Leaves of Orange Trees, of Lemon, Jasmin, Laurel, Rose-Trees, of Cherry, Apricock, Peach, Plum, Apple, Pear, and Trees of Poplar, Pine, Oak, &c. There are many sorts of Leaves that have no such woody Fibres or Veins; as for Instance, Vine and Lime-Tree Leaves. Those
