TIDAL OBSERVATIONS 495 



RECORDS 



The following are the original uncorrected readings of the tide gauges at Cape Flora and 

 Teplitz Bay. The high and low water observations are denoted by the letters " H " and 

 " L", respectively, and following the reading. A swell or light swell, if noted at observation, 

 is denoted by an asterisk (*) or dagger (f). At Cape Flora, no wind register being available, 

 the anemometer dial readings in miles were recorded, as also the true direction ; the anemo- 

 meter dial read from zero to 990 miles. For the Teplitz Bay results the wind velocities and 

 true directions are given. The times are local mean civil reckoning through twenty-four 

 hours. The tide gauge at Cape Flora is in approximate north latitude 79 57' and longitude 

 49 59' (3 Q J 9 m 5 6s ) east of Greenwich, while the gauge at Teplitz Bay is in north latitude 

 81 47/5 and longitude 57 56' (^h 5101 433) east. The observations at Cape Flora were 

 made by W. J. Peters, Francis Long, Charles E. Rilliet, Anton Vedoe, and J. E. Moulton. 

 The observations at Teplitz Bay were made by Francis Long, Spencer W. Stewart, Robert 

 R. Tafel, John Vedoe, and W. J. Peters. The various observers are noted in the tabulation
