of several Places in Denmark. 47 
Stokholm, 1782, the position of Anholt is very erroneous. 
The light-house of Anholt, and the whole isle, is from 7 to 9 mi- 
nutes too much westerly ; and the distance from the light-house 
to the Swedish coast, in a direction perpendicular to the meridian 
of the light-house is, in all maps hitherto published, nearly 4 
English miles, or ±th part of the whole too great. Experience 
has taught the navigators, that they come too soon down 
upon Anholt ; or that they, cruising between Anholt and 
Sweden, overrun their reckoning, which was ascribed to the 
currents ; although the true reason of it was the great error 
in the geographical and hydrographical position of Anholt in 
a narrow and dangerous passage.
