The comparison between I and II given on p. Ill, which was made 8.6 hours before this 

 observation, will give for the moment of observation I II = Oh 30 m 57 s , consequently 



LT-I = lh 9m 57* and E. Long. = 4h 31m gs _ 4 = 67 47 - <J. 

 1895, May 15. Bar. 30.17 in., Therm. - 12.7. 



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 <p = 83 38'. The mean is LT-II = It 27m 12"; 

 applying to this the comparison between I and II of May 14, which gives for the time of ob- 

 servation I II = Oh 32m is ( the result is 



LT-I = Oh 55m HB and E. Long. = 4h 17m 29 - ^ = 64 22' - J.

 The following observations were taken at the same place, with height of eye 12 feet. 



which gives E. Long. = 4h 15m 29 - 4 = 63
