Hence the s;ime Prof. Millosevich advised us to assume with full confidence 

 the corrections for the lunar co-ordinates received from Greenwich, and these 

 yielded the longitude for Bujongolo : 



\ = 2^ 0'" 6^-3 E.G. 



This again agrees closely with the value 2'' 0"' 6^-0 East Greenwich, 

 ohtained l)y Prof. Millosevich, who was also good enough to make the same 

 calculation. 



The latitude was olitained from two meridian altitudes and from two series 

 of circummeridians (Obs. Nos. 38, 43, 44, 46, and 49 to 54), observed partly 

 by H.R.H. and partly by Commander Cagni. Between the results of the two 

 observers there occurs a considerable difference, the origin of which maybe 

 atrril)uted to some anomaly of refraction. In fact, H.R.H. was in this instance 

 induced to depart from his practice of observing the lower limi) of the sun, 

 owing to an utuisual optic phenomenon which caused him to notice on the lower 

 edge of the reflected image a false limi) which would not have allowed a good 

 observation. Hence the discrepancy in the results is to be attributed to this 

 particular state of the atmosphere. Therefore, in order to prevent the 

 observations of H.R.H., which were the more numerous, from too greatly 

 influencing the results, the mean of the circummeridian series was first 

 obtained, and the resulting value taken as a mean with the results of the 

 meridian observations. The several vahies thus obtained are : 



17th June. — Meridian — Commander Cagni = 0" 19' 50" X. 



9th July. — „ —H.R.H. „ = 20 55 „ 



10th ,, — Circummerid. — Commander Cagni ,, = 19 52 „ 



11th „ —Meridian —H.R.H. „ = 20 54 „ 



These data yielded foi' 



Bujongolo = 0' 20' 23" X. 



With the longitude of Bujongolo is ol)tained the absolute correction of 

 the chronometer for the period of arrival at that encampment, and subsequently 

 the mean daily correction of the same chronometer for the period occupied by 



the joui'iiey. 



Thus was obtained : 



Bujongolo.— 19th June, 3'^ 45™ ... C„„= +5*^ 15'" 37^-1 



„ „ ... \ = + 2 6-3 



Ki=+3 15 30-8 



This absolute correction on mean Greenwich time corresponds with the 

 date of 11th June at 3" 45'" of miian local time. And as at Entebbe on 

 11th May, at 23" 31"' of mean local time, we had K, = 3" 16"^ 34"- 9, we shall
