In the middle of _Cancer_ is the _South Asellus_, a Star of the fourth
Magnitude, called by _Bayer_ δ; its Longitude in the end of the year 1689,
was [Leo]. 4°. 23'. 40". In the neck of _Hydrus_, rightly delineated, is a
Star of the fourth Magnitude, called δ by _Bayer_; its Longitude in the end
of the year 1689, was [Leo]. 5°. 59'. 3". Between the poop and mast of the
Ship _Argo_ is a Star of the third Magnitude, called ι by _Bayer_; its
Longitude in the end of that year, was [Leo]. 7°. 5'. 31". In _Sagitta_ is
a Star of the sixth Magnitude, called θ by _Bayer_; its Longitude in the
end of the same year 1689, was [Aquarius]. 6°. 29'. 53". In the middle of
_Capricorn_ is a Star of the fifth Magnitude, called η by _Bayer_; its
Longitude in the end of the same year was [Aquarius]. 8°. 25'. 55": and the
fifth part of the summ of the three first Longitudes, and of the
complements of the two last to 180 Degrees; is [Leo]. 6°. 28'. 46". This is
the new Longitude of the old _Colurus Solstitiorum_ passing through these
Stars. The same _Colurus_ passes also in the middle between the Stars η and
κ, of the fourth and fifth Magnitudes, in the neck of the _Swan_; being
distant from each about a Degree: it passeth also by the Star κ, of the
fourth Magnitude, in the right wing of the _Swan_; and by the Star ο, of
the fifth Magnitude, in the left hand of _Cepheus_, rightly delineated; and
by the Stars in the tail of the _South-Fish_; and is at right angles with
the _Colurus Æquinoctiorum_ found above: and so it hath all the characters,
of the _Colurus Solstitiorum_ rightly drawn.

The two _Colures_ therefore, which in the time of the _Argonautic_
Expedition cut the Ecliptic in the Cardinal Points, did in the end of the
year 1689 cut it in [Taurus]. 6°. 29'; [Leo]. 6°. 29'; [Scorpio]. 6°. 29';
and [Aquarius]. 6°. 29'; that is, at the distance of 1 Sign, 6 Degrees and
29 Minutes from the Cardinal Points of _Chiron_; as nearly as we have been
able to determin from the coarse observations of the Ancients: and
therefore the Cardinal Points, in the time between that Expedition and the
