The Mahometan era, or era of the Hogira, employed in Turkey, Persia, Arabia, &c., is dated from the flight of Mahomet from Mecca to Medina, which was in the night of Thursday the 15th of July 622 A.D., and it commenced on the day following. The years of the Hegira are purely lunar, and always consist of twelve lunar months, commencing with the approximate new moon, without any intercalation to keep them to the same season with respect to the sun, so that they retrograde through all the seasons in about 32 years. They are also parti tioned into cycles of 30 years, 19 of which are common years of 354 days each, and the other 11 are intercalary years having an additional day appended to the last month. The mean length of the year is therefore 354^1 days, or 354 days 8 hours 48 min., which divided by 12 gives 29|^ days, or 29 days 12 hours 44 min., as the time of a mean lunation, and this differs from the astronomical mean lunation by only 2 -8 seconds. This small error will only amount to a day in about 2400 years. To find if a year is intercalary or common, divide it by 30 ; the quotient will be the number of completed cycles and the remainder will be the year of the current cycle ; if this last be one of the numbers 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18, 21, 24, 26, 29, the year is inter calary and consists of 355 days ; if it be any other number, the year is ordinary. Or if Y denote the number of the Mahometan year, and /ll y+H the year is intercalary when R < 11. Also the number of intercalary years from the year 1 up to the ^ - )
