  (Abstract.) 
  

  

  These 
  observations 
  were 
  made 
  on 
  board 
  the 
  yacht 
  ' 
  Fox,' 
  under 
  the 
  

   command 
  of 
  Sir 
  Leopold 
  M'Clintock, 
  during 
  his 
  successful 
  search 
  for 
  

   the 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  Franklin 
  Expedition. 
  

  

  The 
  heights 
  of 
  the 
  tide 
  were 
  observed 
  every 
  hour 
  during 
  23 
  days, 
  and 
  

   the 
  results 
  obtained 
  were 
  extremely 
  interesting. 
  

  

  The 
  tides 
  of 
  Port 
  Kennedy 
  are 
  remarkable 
  for 
  two 
  points 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  1. 
  The 
  magnitude 
  of 
  the 
  diurnal 
  tide. 
  

  

  2. 
  The 
  solar 
  diurnal 
  tide 
  is 
  greater 
  than 
  the 
  lunar 
  diurnal 
  tide. 
  

   The 
  following 
  tidal 
  constants 
  have 
  been 
  successfully 
  determined 
  :
