He had noted, as astronothers before had -,noted, that,the•surk-rays, roughly, ii onerof these di-visit:ins during, one month of rthe year,.

So thelhign 61 'Aries,' tha Ram, for instance; is no longer in the con- stellation Of Aries, but in thp constellation 8 Pisces, the Pishes, to the west of the constellation Aries. After the-"passageof 25,8 000 yeers the' signs come' back, more or less, to their original positiOns in the , constellations which bear, the seine names.
