From Callao to Guayaquil the longitudes depend upon Mr. Usborne's survey, in the Consti- 

 tucion. He had three chronometers fixed on board the vessel, and one which was used for 

 observations; all four were good watches. If his whole meridian distance between Guayaquil 

 and Callao is incorrect, the error, whatever it may be, must be distributed equally along that 

 portion of coast, but I do not think there is an error of two miles ; probably, indeed, there is not 

 near so great a deviation from truth, as Mr. Usborne landed for observations continually, and 

 carried a connected triangulation from Callao to Puna.
