The various astronomical and magnetic reductions have been carried

 Maps have been prepared showing the isomagnetics in the Tran.skei ; and 

 at present the magnetic anomalies for that region are being calculated. 



The Committee ask for reappointment, with a grant of 50^., for the 

 purpose of carrying the survey into Little Namaqualand. The Govern ■
