11. To use this table, you should know the moon's anomaly at the time you are dealing with, and the moon's anomaly is determined for centuries and odd years in the same way as the mean moment of the first new moon is determined for every solar year. The moon completes an anomalistic month, that is, returns to a particular pace round the earth in 27·5546 days, and in a solar year the moon's anomaly increases by 365·25875 less 13 × 27·5546 = 7·04896 days as shown in Table VII, Column 4. In 100 years the anomaly increases by 16·03078 days and we calculate, as before, the anomaly for the commencement of the solar year K.Y. 3101 (B.C. 1).
