Note 1 — THE NAMES OF THE STARS AND THEIR MEANINGS.
Reading edition
It will be noted that the date of culmination is given in almost every case. By culmination is meant the highest point reached by a heavenly body in its path, at which point it is said to be on the meridian. In this hemisphere this is in each case the highest point north.
For example:—the culmination of the sun occurs at noon.
The time when the stars here mentioned culminate on the dates specified is in each case nine o'clock p.m.
