most considerable alterations resulted therefrom, in the east and 
west positions of the time-keeper, when the line drawn from the 
axis of the chronometer to the centre of the balance was at right 
angles to the meridian of the magnetised plate. ; The smallest 
changes also were produced in those situations of the chrono- 
meters corresponding to north and south, the centre of the

the two positions of the chronometer, are recorded in the final 
Table.
