ALMANAC FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1861.

The first after Bissextile or Leap Year, containing 365 days ; and, after the Fourth of July, the
Lightyfifth of American Independenee. oS

mm

FECLIPSES IN THE YEAR 1861. e°
THERE are, this year, four Eclipses ; three of the Sun and one of the Moon. —. *
tks The first is an annular Eclipse of the Sun, the 10th of January, at 10 o’clock 26 minutes in the
evening; invisible. Visible in Australia. z ;
2. The second is also an annular Nclipsaof the Sun, the 7th of July, at 9 o’clock 11 minutes in the.
evening; invisible. Visible in East India Ynd Australia. :

3. The third is a partial Eclipse of the Moon, the 17th of December, at 3 o’clock 6 minutes in thes aie

morning ; visible.

First contact with the dark shadow, at 2 o’clock 30 minutes in the morning. Middle, at 3
o'clock 21 minutes in the morning. Last contact with the dark shadow, at 4 o’clock 12 min-.
utes in the morning. Dugits eclipsed 2 1-5th on the north part of the Moon from the south
part of the Earth. Duration, 1 hour 42 minutes. :

4. The fourth is a total Eclipse of the Sun, the 81st of December, at 8 o’clock 53 minutes in the
morning ; visible.

Beginning at 6 o’clock 52 minutes in the morning. The Sun rises at 7 o’clock 24 minutes,
with nearly two digits eclipsed. Middle, at 7 o’clock 53 minutes. End of the Kclipse, at 8
o'clock 58 min. Digits eclipsed 43 on the south part of the Sun. Duration 2 hours 1 minute.

There is a transit of Mercury over the Sun’s disc this year, the 12th of November, at 3 o’clock 4
minutes in the morning; invisible in the United States of North America. :

The above solar eclipse, the 3lst of December, is justly not total nor annular;-because the Moon
appears at that time of the same magnitude as the Sun; and as soon as the Moagtouches the east of
the Sun, the west part is shining again; and the Sun’s light is at no time totally withdrawn from any
part of the Karth.
