ngitude was [Taurus]. 9 deg.. 38'. 45", and North Latitude 6 deg.. 7'. 56": and
the _Colurus AEquinoctiorum_ drawn though it, according to _Eudoxus_, cuts
the Ecliptic in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 58'. 57". In the head of _Cetus_ are two
Stars of the fourth Magnitude, called [nu] and [xi] by _Bayer_: in the end
of the year 1689 their Longitudes were [Taurus]. 4 deg.. 3'. 9". and [Taurus].
3 deg.. 7'. 37", and their South Latitudes 9 deg.. 12'. 26". and 5 deg.. 53'. 7"; and
the _Colurus AEquinoctiorum_ passing in the mid way between them, cuts the
Ecliptic in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 58'. 51". In the extreme flexure of _Eridanus_,
rightly delineated, is a Star of the fourth Magnitude, of late referred to
the breast of _Cetus_, and called [rho] by _Bayer_; it is the only Star in
_Eridanus_ through which this _Colure_ can pass; its Longitude, in the end
of the year 1689, was [Aries]. 25 deg.. 22'. 10". and South Latitude 25 deg.. 15'.
50". and the _Colurus AEquinoctiorum_ passing through it, cuts the Ecliptic
in [Taurus]. 7 deg.. 12'. 40". In the head of _Perseus_, rightly delineated, is
a Star of the fourth Magnitude, called [tau] by _Bayer_; the Longitude of
this Star, in the end of the year 1689, was [Taurus]. 23 deg.. 25'. 30", and
North Latitude 34 deg.. 20'. 12": and the _Colurus AEquinoctiorum_ passing
through it, cuts the Ecliptic in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 18'. 57". In the right hand
of _Perseus_, rightly delineated, is a Star of the fourth Magnitude, called
[eta] by _Bayer_; its Longitude in the end of the year 1689, was [Taurus].
24 deg.. 25'. 27", and North Latitude 37 deg.. 26'. 50": and the _Colurus
AEquinoctiorum_ passing through it cuts the Ecliptic in [Taurus]. 4 deg.. 56'.
40": and the fifth part of the summ of the places in which these five
_Colures_ cut the Ecliptic, is [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 29'. 15": and therefore the
Great Circle which in the Primitive Sphere according to _Eudoxus_, and by
consequence in the time of the _Argonautic_ Expedition, was the _Colurus
AEquinoctiorum_ passing through the Stars above described; did in the end of
the year 1689, cut the Ecliptic in [Taurus]. 6 deg.. 29'. 15": as nearly as we
have been able to determin by the Observations of the Ancients, which were
but coarse.
In the middle of _Cancer_ is the _South Asellus_, a Star of the fourth
Magnitude, called by _Bayer_ [delta]; its Longitude in the end of the year
1689, was [Leo]. 4 deg.. 23'. 40". In the neck of _Hydrus_, rightly delineated,
is a S
