It is to be observed, that, for about a Month before, and a Month after the Conjunction of Jupiter with the Sun, by reason of the Proximity of Jupiter to the Sun, the Eclipses cannot be observed. And this is the Reason that no Notice has been taken of them in the Catalogue between the 25th of March and the 24th of May following. The Times here set down are according to the astronomical Way of reckoning, which supposes the Day to commence at the Noon of each Day, or when the Sun is upon the Meridian; and counting the Time on in a successive Order, without the Distinction of Morning and Afternoon, till the Sun returns to the Meridian again the next Day at Noon. Thus, for Example, in the preceding Catalogue, the first Emersion of the second Satellite is said to happen on January 1. at 20 Hours 6 Minutes; that is, according to the Civil Way of reckoning, on Jan. 2. at 6 Minutes after 8 in the Morning.
