Remarks. 
* “At Singapore, in October 1840, a cat got into the room where the dip instrument was placed and threw 
it down, breaking the axle of the needle and the levelling screws of the dip circle. A new axle was fitted by a 
watchmaker, with which the observations were made at Manila and in the Canton River ; and on my return to 
Singapore, in December 1841, I had the satisfaction to find that the results obtained with the needle were in 
accordance with those of the magnetic observatory at this island .” — Extract from Sir Edward Belcher s Memo- 
randa.
