Notes: All values have been corrected to normal gravity (Lat. 

 4^") by applying a correction of +0.6 mb. 

 The first observations taken in the Falkland Islands were 

 by Sir James Ross in April to August 1842 (Voy- 

 age to the Southern Seas, vol. ii. pp. 428-437). 

 Observations have been taken at Cape Pembroke 

 Lighthouse since 1850, with occasional intervals. 

 In January 1903, the station was inspected by the 

 meteorologist of the " Scotia " and since that date 

 the observations have been excellent. Prior to that 

 date, however, the observations were ])rol)ably less 

 reliable.
