SCIENTIFIC RESULTS OF ZIEGLER POLAR EXPEDITION 



MISCELLANEOUS OBSERVATIONS 

 A TROMSOE, NORWAY 



The magnetic station was located on the east side of Tromsoe Sound about fifty feet from 

 the shore line and on the edge of the cultivated field opposite the city of Tromsoe. Very 

 little time was available for work at this station ; as a result only declinations could be 

 observed with magnetometer No. IIII. The mark used was a house appearing over point of 

 Tromsoe Island in true azimuth 195 40/9 west of south and distant about five miles. 



Observers R. W. Porter, W. J. Peters, and R. R. Tafel. 



B ARCHANGEL, RUSSIA 



The magnetic station was located on the south point of a low, flat, sandy island covered 

 with small willows in the Dwina River about west-southwest of the old prison in Solomba. 

 The taller and middle spire of the Archangel cathedral is in true azimuth from the magnetic 

 station 344 20/3 west of south. Complete observations were made with magnetometer 

 No. IIII and dip circle No. 5676. In the following summary of the results at this station 

 all instrumental corrections have been made, but no corrections for diurnal variations are 

 applied. 



Observers W. J. Peters and R. W. Porter. * Needles Nos. 3 and 4 respectively. 



C BARENTS SEA 



Observations were made on the floating ice in Barents Sea. For declination observations 

 a C. L. Berger and Sons' alt-azimuth instrument with compass needle attached in tube under 

 telescope (see figure 2 of astronomic notes) was used. The methods and results obtained are 

 exhibited in the following summary :
