IN the year 1867 there will be two Eclipses of the SuN, and two of the Mona ; viz:- I.-An annular Eclipse of the Sun, March 5th and 6th. IL-A paelial Eclipse of the Moon, March 19th. III.-A total Eclipse of the Sun, August 28th and 29th. IV.-A partial Eclipse of the Moon, September 131h. NOTES FOR THE CALENDAR. TsE Moon's age is given at noon, and is the mean time elapsed since the Moon's ecliptic conjunction with the Sun, or since the Sun and Moon had the same longitude. The numbers in the "Moon's Age" column are calculated for Brisbane, and are expressed in days and decimal parts of a day. *' TIIE Meteorological Observations, Health report, and statement of Births and Deaths, given in the Calendar pages of this publication, apply to Brisbane only. Tat: difference in time between high water at the Bar and Brisbane is one hour; between Brisbane and Ipswich, three hours. This applies as a general rule, but the actual time of high water is frequently influenced by strong northerly and easterly gales, and violent fresher in the river. The Proprietor has obtained evidence from the Chief Pilot in Moreton Bay, as to the general accuracy of the tide tables in this Almanac; and the work has also met with the entire approbation of most of the ship masters trading to the port of Brisbane. When the Sun is south of the Equator, the day tides in the southern hemisphere are the highest; when north of the Equator, the night tides are highest. These changes will take place about the second or third spring tide after the sun has crossed the Equinox. The day tides will be the highest until the first spring tide in April. when the night tides will take precedence until the new moon in October, after which the day tides will again take pre cedeuce.
