it from east to west from 0deg to 36Odeg,
so that there be no longer east and west
longitude; it was further decided to begin
the reckoning of the astronomical day
from midnight, as the civil day is reckon
ed, instead of beginning, as the astrono-
mers now do, at noon; thus making the
civil and astronomical days identical.
