Lunar Occultations. Lunar Occultations'visible in Philadelphia during the month of May, 1844 ; computed by Mas. C~Xa~OTT]~ S. Dow~ss, from the Elements published with the Occultation list o[ the United States Almanac. The Immersions and Emersions are for Philadelphia, mean astronomical time. Ira. for Immersion, Em. for Emersion. These abbreviations in Italics refer to those Immersions and Emersions which take place on the Moon's dark limb. N. App. for Near Approach. The angles are for inverted iraage, or as seen in an astronomical telescope, and reckoned from the Moon's North point and from its Vertex around through l!~ast, South, West, to North and Vertex again. For direct vision add 180°. MAY, 1844. Day.! H'r.} Min.
