i",2i to 2", 26 the longitude corrected by this new rate is 
found to be 174 0 54' 23" (fifth column). The true longi¬ 
tude of the place being 174 0 23' 31" (fixth column) ; it ap¬ 
pears, that, in our run from Greenwich to New Zealand, 
the error would have been only i° T 29" (feventh column), 
or fixty-one miles and a half, even if we had not had an 
opportunity of correcting its daily error; or, in other words, 
that the watch had varied 4' 5", 3 (eighth column), in nine 
months four days (ninth column). But the longitude as 
given by its new rate, leaves an error of only 30' 54" (tenth 
column), near thirty-one miles, or, in time, 1' 3",6 (ele¬ 
venth column) ; which has been accumulating during our 
run from the Cape to New Zealand, or in four months, 
nine days (twelfth column). The thirteenth and four¬ 
teenth columns require no explanation.
