OBSERVATIONS AT TEPLITZ BAY OBSERVATORY 



LATITUDE 



Latitude was determined by observing star altitudes in the meridian. These observations 

 and results are summarized in the following tabulation : 



Latitude observations at Tfplitz Ray 



The mean value for latitude resulting agrees closely with that determined by the Italian 

 Expedition. The Italian astronomical station was not relocated. Direct comparison of values 

 may, however, be made by reference to the magnetic station of 1899 to 1900 which is 136.42 

 meters, or 4.4 seconds of arc, south of the Ziegler Expedition astronomical observatory and 1. 1 

 second of arc south of the astronomical station observed at by the Italian party. Their finally 

 adopted latitude was 81 47' 26."2,* which referred to the station of 1905 would be 81 47' 

 29. "5 ; the two determinations thus agree within less than six seconds of arc, the mean of the 

 two being 81 47' 32. "2.
