nutation, aberration, &c., to the time of observation, and 

 the mean of the two taicen for determining the latitude. 



In this manner has the whole series of observations been 

 continued, by turning the sector half round every night, for 

 the purpose of observing on opposite parts of the arc, and 

 each compared with its preceding and succeedin^i one. In 

 pursuing this method, it was unnecessary to notice the 

 errour of collimation for any other purpose than as a test to 

 the regularity of the observations; for until they became 

 uniform, no notice was taken of the isenith distances, con- 

 cluding that there had been some mismanagement, or some 

 defect in the adjustment. 



After major Lambton had made out his account of the 

 meridional arc, be completed the measurement of a degrcB 

 perpendicular to the meridian in latitude 12° 32' nearly, 

 derived from a distance of upward of fifty-five miles, be- 

 tween Carangooly and Curnatighur, two stations »iearly east 

 and west from each other. The final results of his compu- 

 tations are, that the degree on the meridian in this latitude 

 is 60495 fathoms nearly, and the degree perpendicular to it 

 61061 fathoms nearly.

An Account of some Neiv Apples, tvhich, with many others 

 that have been long cultivated, were exhibited before the 

 Horticultural Society, the 2d of December IS06. By. Mr.

The apple one Ajf F all the different fruits, that our island affords, none

 little care and trouble, especially in its southern counties, 

 than the Apple. For a proof of this, I hope it will not be 

 deemed presumptuous in me to refer to the catalogue below^ 

 every variety of xvhich I had the honour of exhibiting to the 

 Horticultual Society, at our meeting in December last. Hav-
