Horizontal Force (Metric Units). 
This was only observed at No. 1 Red Cliff station besides the normal, with a 
difference of 0’0878 as a disturbance. 
There is nothing in the amount of the above disturbances to call for special remark, 
as they have often been largely exceeded in other countries. 
There is, however, one point which requires notice, and that is the different signs 
shown by the Dip disturbances, the north-seeking pole of the needle being repelled at 
four Dip stations, and attracted at three stations out of the seven. Attention is 
called to this as bearing upon subsequent results obtained on board the ship. 
Disturbances Caused by Land under the Sea. 
The instruments employed for observing on board the ship :— 
1. Standard compass on poop, 75 feet above the sea-bottom. 
2. Fox apparatus (C. 10) for Dip and Force 82 feet above the sea-bottom. 
3. A compass occupying the place of the Fox apparatus when removed, and called 
the “ Fox compass.”
