The central line passes over the points on the earth's surface whose po This eclipse will be visible in the southern and central portions of Africa, in the south of Arabia, in Hindostan, the southeast of China, the northwest of New Holland, the Indian Ocean, and Polynesia. II. Wednesday, August 7th. A total eclipse of the Sun, partly visible in the southwestern portion of the United States. Beginning of the general eclipse, 1h. 47.9m. A. [mean time at Washington Observatory], in latitude 11° 49′ N. and longitude 163° 52′ E. of Greenwich. Beginning of the central and total eclipse, 2h. 42.5m.
