The first three observations give: 



Magnetic Declination at the Winter Hut = 18.2 E, 



which value is certainly preferable to that found on April 20 during a period of evident magnetic 

 perturbations. 



The points above are probably to be identified with the following points named by 

 Mr. Jackson: 



Slotsberg Cape Brice. 



Cape of Good Hope ... A little to the north of Cape Me. Clintock. 



Hope Island Mary Elizabeth Island. 



Black-spotted Island . . . Wm. Neale Island. 



White Island Geo. Harley Island. 



Northern Island Erasmus Ommaney Island. 



Needle Cape Cape Hugh Mill. 



The determinations of Local Time give the following values of the clock error and 

 daily rate. 



and the mean acceleration during the whole period = + 9".2. 



The comparisons with Watch II during the same period give for this a daily retardation 

 of 12<*.6.
