THE OBSERVATIONS. 



The following table gives, in chronological order, the result of the 

 determinations of inclination. "Mer." is the meridian adjustment on the 

 horizontal circle. Under the heading "Needle" the position of the needle 

 is given, with the marked side either "out" B^ or „in" B^. N and S 

 in the column "Defl." indicate that the needle has been deflected, re- 

 pulsed respectively by the north or south end of the deflector used. The 

 mean of the inclination value found separately for the free needle and 

 for the deflected needle, without correction for index-error, is given as 

 the final value of I.
