✦ Synopsis

The Eden Theatre of Paris. 239 into its twelve signs. Forty-seven constellations are represented, 21 of which are in the Northern hemisphere, 12 in the Zodiac, and 14 in the Southern hemisphere. A heart-shaped curved line incloses the six stars near Aquilla, which represent, upon our celestial globes, the constellation of Antinous. This constellation and that of Bereniees' Hair were introduced by Tycho ]~rahe, in tile 16th century. On this globe, as upon other Arabic globes, the figures face the observer instead of looldng towards the centre of the sphere. Therefore the stars which are upon the right side of a constellation on our globes are on the left side on the Arabic globes, and vice versa.--Pub, del. R. Instituto, 1878.
