Having for some time declined making any more Observations on the dark Spots that appear on the Sun’s Disk, I now send a Copy of the Figures I drew of them, which I desire may be presented to the Royal Society.9 Perhaps, some one or more of the Members may be pleased with them, in which case I shall not think my Labour lost. They were viewed with a Reflecting Telescope of [blank] Inches, and their Appearances I think pretty truly delineated, both as to Magnitude and Situation. Upon the whole, I am of Opinion, that the Spots are near the Sun’s Surface (if not closely adhering thereto) for these Reasons; 1. That their Velocities are apparently greatest near the Center and gradually slower towards each Limb. 2. That the Shape of the Spots varies, according to their Position on the several Parts of the Sun’s Disk; those that appear broad and nearly round when on the middle, seeming at their first Appearance on the Eastern Limb but as Lines, and as they advance towards the Center grow oval, then round, and in their Progress to the Western Limb, appear again as Ovals and Lines. My other Remarks were, that the Spots were twelve Days and an half, and about two or three Hours, in passing. That tho’ some continued visible from one Limb to the other, a few would disappear after having been visible several Days, and others divided into parts. That scarce any Spots ever appeared beyond what may be called the Polar Circles of the Sun; and that the same Spot never appeared a second time on the eastern Limb, at least not in the same form and Position.
