MERIDIAN ON THE COAST OP COROMANDEL. 153 



Therefore the hne when prockiced 

 Northerly will make an angle 

 with the meridian North East- 

 erly, 12 17, 



September Q6tk, on the evening 

 the angle North Easterly with 

 the base line produced was, ... 1 35 13, 1 



The apparent polar distance on 

 that day was, 1° 44' 59" 8 

 which will give the azimuth, . . 1 47 25, 2 



Therefore the angle between the 



line and meridian will be, ... . 12 12, 1 



September 30th, on the evening the 



angle was observed, .• 1 35 06, 7 



The apparent polar distance for 

 that day being 1 » 44' 38" 1 the 

 azimuth will be, 1 47 23, 5 



Hence the angle by this observa- 

 tion is, 12 16, 3 



At the South end of the base — La- 

 titude •. . 12 53 52, a 



October 7th. In the morning, the 

 polar star when at its greatest 

 western elongation, was observ- 

 ed to make an angle N. Westerly 

 with the base line produced ... 1 59 36, 9 



The apparent polar distance at 

 that time was I <* 44' 35 J, and 

 this with the above latitude will 

 give the azimuth 1 47 18, 2 



Therefore the anaie v/iiich this 

 line produced, makes with the 

 meridian North Easterly 12 18, 7 



And the mean of these four is ... 12 16, 15 



The last observation was made under the most 

 favourable circumstances, it being just day light;
