The figure in this column should be added to the moon's anomaly at the moment of the first new moon in the solar year. The moon's anomaly at the first new moon in the solar year is given in the appropriate column of Table X. Tables VI and VII combined give only the moon's anomaly at the commencement of the solar year and if we are using Tables VI and VII to determine the moon's anomaly, we should take care to add the interval *between the commencement of the solar year and the first new moon in the solar year*.
