SURVEY OF THE BRITISH ISLES FOR THE EPOCH JANUARY 1, 1886. 125 
45. ScARNiSH (Tiree). August 8 and 10, 1885 ; A. W, R. and A. P. L. (60, 74). Lat. 
56° 30' 12"; Long. 6° 47' 20". Dips about 15 yards in front of Hotel. Declina¬ 
tions : Station I. 30 yards W.S.W. of Inn. Station II. Inn bears S.W. by S. 
(200 yards); Harbour Mouth bears S. Station III. Inn bears S.W. by S. (250 
yards). On returning to Oban, when a comparison could he made with Green¬ 
wich time, the rate of the chronometer was found to have altered suddenly during 
the visit to Tiree. The difference between the values of the declinations obtained 
at Stations I. and H. on the 8th and 10th is probably due to this fact.
