Observations of the mean magnetic inclination made on shore in 

 the Voyage of II. M.S. Rattlesnake, by Lieut. Joseph Bay- 

 man, R.N. histrnments employed : Robinson^ s 6-inch 

 Inclinometer ; Fox^s Dipping Apparatus. 



The following tables contain the absolute determinations of 

 the magnetic inclination and declination made in the Voyage of 

 H.M.S. Rattlesnake on shore. A very large series made almost 

 daily at sea with Fox's instrument and the Azimuth Compass 

 require several corrections before they are fit for publication.
