At Terranova the day of the eclipse was not magnetieally 
quiet. After the first contact the needle moved towards 
the west, but after a quarter of an hour the movement 
shoved towards the east and the maximum eastern defleetion 
was reached a few minutes before the time of totality. After- 
wards the needle moved towards the west, performed another 
movement towards the east. finally occupving a western 
maximum at the last contact. 
During eclipse-time at Batavia and Buitenzorg the needle 
performed a movement of about one minute and a half ot 
arc towards the west, which was, however, interrupted by à 
partial retrogression towards the east, lasting from half an hour 
before the middle of the eclipse to half an hour atter. The 
transition from the movement towards the east to a movement 
towards the west took place a few minutes before the middle. 
Consequently it can scarcely be avoided to eonclude that 
in Sicilia m 1870 and in Java in 1871 during the eclipse 
a movement of the needle was observed, the reverse of the 
which was observed at Karang Sago and at Batavia in 1901.
