falls back to the 15th of April. After which the 16th, on account of the solar equation, is again the date of the first paschal moon of the cycle for another period of 95 years; that is till the year 2603, when the solar equation causes the first paschal moon to fall on the 17th, which cycle is repeated sixteen times during another period of 304 years, after which, in 2907, the correction makes the date of the first paschal moon of the

cycle, the 18th of April, which cycle is continued without correction till the year 3116, a period of 209 years. By reference to the above tables, it will be seen that the solar and lunar equations occur together in the year 2700 and compensate each other; also, that the year 2800 is a common year in the Gregorian calendar; consequently there is no correction to make from 2603 to 2907; also the two equations occur together
