Fellow of Trinity College , Bullin. 
Part V. On the Tides of Befuge Cove, Wellington Channel. 
Received July 11, — Read November 19, 1874. 
The following observations, like those at Northumberland Sound, were made on board 
H.M.S. ‘Assistance,’ under the command of Sir Edwakd Belcher, R.N., K.C.B. 
They were made from 16th September to 11th October 1853. Although the period of 
observation is so short, yet, owing to the fact that it was the time of Equinox, some 
useful information has been obtained as to the Lunar Diurnal Tide at this Station. 
The position of Refuge Cove is 
Lat. 75° 31' N. 
Long. 92° 10' W. 
The following Table contains the Height of each High and Low Water, and the Height 
of the Diurnal Tide, calculated by the second difference of the heights.
