Diurnal Tides on the Coasts of Ireland.

The agreement between Theory unci Observation, shown in the preceding 

 Tables, is very satisfactory, and were it not for the difficulties presented in the 

 Low Water Observations, we would consider the Tides at Courtown well re- 

 presented by the Theoretical Tides. This discrepancy between Theory and 

 Observation at Courtown is probably connected witli the peculiarities of the 

 Courtown Tides, which have been brought to light by the Astronomer Royal, 

 in his discussion of the Semidiurnal Tide at this Station.
