Footnote 41
Part II, §15. This is best done by help of the back
of the instrument, fig. 1. Thus May 13 (old style), which lies 30°
to the W. of the S. line, is nearly of the same length as July 13, which
lies 30° to the E. Secondly, the day of April 2 (old style),
20° above the W. line, is nearly of the same length as the night of
Oct. 2, 20° below the E. line, in the opposite point of the circle.
This is but an approximation, as the divisions on the instrument are rather
minute.
