' Observed by Capt. Cook in the winter of 1775-6. 





















2 Including Auckland Islands and Campbell's Island. 





















' Computed from the resultants for the seasons. 













Zone intei'inediate bet^reen 29 and 00. 



Latitude 54^ to 56° South. 



The material for this zone does not belong exclusively either to the one that precedes or to the 

 one that follows, the limit between the two being the parallel of latitude 55°. It is thought best, 

 therefore, to arrange it in a zone by itself. 



(Nos. 1 to 16.) Off Cape Horn, longitude 55° to 89° west. 



From observations for an aggregate period of over <o\ years, collected and classified, from the 

 logs of numerous sailing vessels, at the United States Naval Observatory, under the direction 

 of Capt. M. F. Maury, Superintendent.
