iThis place is not so well 

 determined in Longitude 

 as the preceding. 



N.B. — ^The Latitudes are deduced from Observations " off the Meridian" and 

 are computed by Dr. Inman's method of Cir-cum-Meridian Altitudes. 



The Longitudes are from Meridian Distances, by one chronometer (Molyneaux, 

 No. 3147). Judging from its uniform rate, it must have been very carefully 

 attended to in travelling from place to place. 



Kuka is assumed to be in Longitude 13° 24' E., thfe other places measured 

 from it.
