GEELMUYDEN. ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS. [NORW. POL. EXP. 



The last three observations are denoted as good, but for all the others as well as for the 

 latitude observations, the Sun was veiled and not sharp. 



Combining the mean of the 5 and the 4 observations in the two positions of the instru- 

 ment, by which the error of the assumed Hor. Point is eliminated, the result is: 



Watch I 5h 28", LT-I = 0^ 43 35s 4. 0.054^ 

 from which it appears that 8 in the former equation is 24'. Consequently: 



June 14. Watch I 0^ 21m p . m ., N. Lat. = 82 27' 

 and " "528 p.m., LT-1 =0^43 32*, E. Long. = 4^ 11" 56" -^ = 62 59' -4. 



1895, June 17. Bar. 761.4 mm, Therm. - 0.7. Eye 10 feet, Ind. corr. - 3'. 

 Meridian altitude Sun L. L. Sextant 30 57'; N. Lai = 82 18'. 



All the following observations till July 20 were taken during a long stay in the "Camp 

 of Longing". The meridian altitudes will be given first. 



1895 June 22. Bar. 745.8 mm, Therm. - 1.0. Ind. corr. (-!'?). N. Lat. 82 4'.4. 



E. Long. 4h 13m 49.9 - ^ = 63 27' - J.
