The Semidiameters of the Sun and Moon were diminished according to the theory of Duséjour. [Those marked with an asterisk will probably be visible in some part of Europe.] 1824. June 26th. Beginning Th. 27m. 58. 7 36 7h. 27m. 18s. This eclipse was the first return of the eclipse of June 16th, 1806, when the Sun was totally obscured at Boston, about five minutes. 1825. December 9th.

A very small cloud passed over the Sun exactly at the time of the be ginning of the eclipse, and prevented the same from being observed; but at 35 seconds after the computed time of the beginning, the part eclipsed was very perceptible. This eclipse was total in the south extremity of Florida. 0 19h. 20m. 338.) Mean Time at } *1832. July 26th.

Greatest Obscuration (11° 4t' on Sun's North Limb) 19 18 15 The path of the southern boundary of the total eclipse will probably pass over the N. W. extremity of Jamaica, near Montego Bay. At the southern extremity of the United States, the obscuration will be about eleven digits, on the South Limb. This eclipse, taking place at a time when the Sun is nearly at his greatest possible distance, and the Moon at nearly her least possible distance, from the Earth, the width of the Moon's shadow on the Earth will be much greater than usual ; so that where the sun is centrally eclipsed near the nonagesimal and the zenith (in Africa), the duration of total darkness will rather exceed six minutes. A fuller account of this eclipse will be given in our Almanac for 1832. 1834. November 30th. Beginning 1h. 21m. 589.
