 Variation - - - - 19° 30' S. 



It may not be improper to mention here that Baffin, in 

 161 3, made an obfervation of the refraction when the fun 

 was in the horizon, in latitude 78° 46', which alfo agrees 

 exadly with Dr. Bradley's tables. It may therefore be 

 prefumed that the refradions in the higher latitudes follow 

 the fam.e law as in thefe.
