8. Calcutta, Botanical Garden, March 23rd and 24th. Decli- 

 nation, horizontal and vertical intensity, longitude and latitude. 



B. Plans of the Ganges in Hindoostan. 



9. Benares — April 3rd and 4th. Declination, horizontal and 

 vertical intensity, longitude and latitude. 



10. Lucknow, Oude — April 8th and 9th. Declination, hori- 

 zontal and vertical intensity, longitude and latitude. 



11. Agra — April 15th. Declination. 



12. Meerut — April 18th. Declination. 



The magnetic elements were therefore determined from between 

 latitude 22' to 27° 5' N. in the valley of the Brahmapootra, and to 

 29° in the plains of the Ganges, including a difference to longi- 

 tude of 16° 5 from 95° to 78° 5' East of Greenwich. 



One of the general results was, that the magnetic force, parti- 

 cularly the dip, has been found much greater the general formulae 

 made it expect. 



A. — In the valley of the Brahmapootra, delta of the Ganges, 

 the dip was found — 



At Debrooghur, 38 29 175

B. —In the plains of Hindoostan it was — 



At Benares 32 40 9 



„ Lucknow 35 18 20 



A similar result has been found by my brothers for the parts of 

 corresponding latitude in the North-West Provinces and in Cen- 

 tral India.
