 CAEOLINE ISLAND TO HONOLULU, 



35 



*A. M. 



tP. M. 



Note. — Ou May 24 the Bariford anchored in Hilo Harbor, remaining until the 29th, and arriving at Honolulu on 

 the 30th. The comparisons on .June 3, which were made before the chronometers were moved from the Hartford, indi- 

 cate quite plainly that 1340 lost half a second between the morning and afternoon comparison. The winding was 

 done before the former comparison, and there is nothing to explain the discrepancy. 



HONOLULU TO SAN FRANCISCO. 



* These are derived from June 2, and confirm the change of 0».5 in 1340 previously noted. 



t Chronometer carried to and from observatory of United States Co.ast and Geodetic Survey in San Francisco. 



Note. — The chronometers were secured in the pilot-house on the Zealandia. No. 2786 was used as a hack, and was 

 carried daily into the captain's cabin to compare with the ship's chronometers. As these were not used in the reduc- 

 tions they have been omitted from the table. The Zealandia arrived in San Francisco in theevening of June 11. The 

 temperatures in the pilot-house decreased between Honolulu and San Francisco from 80° to 60°.
