« « llh. 14m. 0s. « 105° 30' 47" 



« « llh. 18m. 58s. " 105° 33' 27" 



As no time observation was obtained, the watch is assumed to have been 

 set at Boulder Point, and a rate is allowed amounting to lm. 12s. per day up to date. 

 This rate is deduced from a careful comparison instituted between the results of the 

 time observations which follow : — 



Resulting latitudes :— 52° 54' 29" 

 52° 54' 32" 

 52° 54' 9"

Skon-un Point, August 10.

This value is rejected, as it does not check satisfactorily with other observations 

 taken along the north coast of the island.
