The mean of the lev’en mean refults from the fun and fix liars, to the 
North, gives the latitude ry® 28' ^1" S. The mean of the nine re- 
fults from the nine liars to the South, gives the latitude 17° 29' 38" S. 
The mean of thefe two means is t7° 29' 15" S. which may be taken 
for the latitude of the obfervatory. 
N. B. Before any obfervations were made with the quadrant, the 
line of collimation was adjulted, by means of a diftant objeft, by inverting 
the quadrant. 
Remark. It mull be confefled, that the refults of thefe obfervations 
(moll of'which were made by Mr. Green) differ more from one another 
than they ought to do, or than tliofe do made by ptlier obfervers, with 
c]uadrants of the fame fixe, and made by the fame artill, the caufe of which, 
if not owing to want of care and addrefs in the obferver, I don’t know 
how to allign. N. M.
