The following gives the magnetic dip ascertained at some of the 

 more important stations, 



Camp at the foot of the Mustak, 50° 2' 



Chorkonda glacier, „ 48 40 



Astor, 48 23 



Iscardo, 48 20i 



Guryhs, 47 37i 



Kashmeer, 46 55 



Murree, 46 11 



Padum, 45 24 



Sultanpoor, ? 43 54|- 



Some of the principal Stations made by Mr. Hermann Schlagin- 

 tweit and Mr. Robert Schlagintweit, are subjoined for compa- 

 rison : — 



Suget in Turkistan, 50° 4' 



Sumgal in do., 50 1 



Karakorum Pass, , 49 8 



Sassar Pass, 48 11 



Ladakh, (Leh,) 46 54 



Kargyl, 48 10 



Dras, 46 58 



Mozufferabad, 47 2 



These observations, as well as the observations given in our for- 

 mer reports, show that the increase of the dip or inclination of the 

 magnetic needle compared to the latitude, is very rapid in India 

 and in the mountain system of High Asia. 



The declination of the magnetic needle is constantly to the east- 

 ward in the whole of the western Himalayas, Thibet and the Kuen- 

 luen mountains. 



The easterly declination is every where pretty considerable, being 

 for instance — 



2° 44' to the east in Leh. 

 2 12 Suget.
