Having now concluded my remarks on these is- 

 lands and people, I shall take my final leave of them, 

 after giving some account of the astronomical and 

 nautical observations that were made during our 

 stay. 



And first I must take notice, that the difference of 

 longitude between Annamooka and Tongataboo, is 

 somewhat less than was marked in the chart and nar- 

 rative of my last voyage. This error might easily 

 arise, as the longitude of each was then found with- 

 out any connection with the other. But now the 

 distance between them is determined to a degree of 

 precision that excludes all possibility of mistake ; 

 which the following table will illustrate : 



The latitude of the observ- 

 atory at Tongataboo, by 

 the mean of several ob- 

 servations, 



21 8' 19" south.
