WHOLE VOL. NOTES. INDIAN OCEAN 33 



AMINI DIVI, LACCADIVE ISLANDS 

 Authority. 



India Meteorological Department, Simla. 

 Remarks. 



This is a new station, giving pressure from 1892 to 1930 and 

 temperature and rainfall from 1889 to 1930. The data are 

 published in part III. 



ANTANANARIVO, MADAGASCAR 

 Authority. 



Observatoire de Tananarive, Madagascar. 

 Site. 



The height of the barometer, thermometer, and rain gage above 

 Mean Sea Level has been the same throughout the period, 

 but the value 1402 m previously quoted must be corrected 

 to 1375 m after a precise leveling by Service Geographique 

 de Madagascar. 

 Pressure. 



Instrument: A barometer No. 148 by Tonnelot has been in use 



throughout the period. 

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

 45°) by applying a correction of -1.5 mm. 



BATAVIA, NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES 



Authority. 



Koninklijk Magnetisch en Meteorologisch Observatorium, 

 Weltevreden, Java. 



Pressure. 



Instrument: A Fortin barometer, Casella No. 924, is in use. A 

 correction of — 0.10 mm has been applied to the readings 

 by comparison with the standard barometer, Adie No. 1410. 

 A comparison with the newly received barometer, Fuess 

 No. 303, in 1910 and a comparison made in 1913 and 1914 

 with Adie No. 141 o, which was returned after repair in 

 1898, indicates that this correction is probably 0.05 mm too 

 high, the true correction being —0.05 mm. 

 Notes: All values are corrected to normal gravity (Lat. 45 ) 

 by applying a correction of —1.93 mm.
