The comparison between I and II given on p. 111, which was made 8.6 hours before this 
observation, will give for the moment of observation I—II = 0b 30™ 57s, consequently 
LT—I = 1b 9™ 57s and E. Long. = 44 31m 9s — 4 = 67° 47 — 4.

The morning observations with sextant and compass were taken on the way, 2 or 3 hours 
before stopping at the camping-place, where the meridian altitude was taken. As this gives 
N. Lat. 83° 36’, the former have been reduced with g = 83° 38’. The mean is LT—II = 1h27™ 12s; 
applying to this the comparison between I and II of May 14, which gives for the time of ob- 
servation I—II = 0b 32™ {s, the result is 
LT—I = 0b 55™ 11s and E. Long. = 45 17m 29s — 4 = 64° 22' — J. 
1895, May 24. Bar. Cary 752.6 mm, Temp. — 7°.4. 
The following observations were taken at the same place, with height of eye 12 feet.
