MR. FLITNER'S OBSERVATION. 65 



Mr. Flitner's pocket chronometer was therefore 10 S> 3 slow on APUA mean 

 time, and the APUA mean time of his observation of internal contact is 

 3 h . 10 m . 16 s -8. 



It only remains to state that Waiakiki is a village about 3 miles S.E. of 

 Honolulu. In computing the following final equation, which represents 

 Mr. Flitner's observation in the same terms as all the others, I have taken 

 hi s position as 



Latitude 21. 16'. o" N. ; Longitude io h . 3i m . ig 8 -3 W. 



whence the final equation, 



7 "- 91 = c"-2283 n + -6629 B R.A. 7064 B N.P.D. o"-o343 8 t 8 R + 8 r.
