Latitude N................... 25° 16'-2

Mean Noon (corr. for Equation of Time) 5h 44m 11s.

In this first' approximation, o is referred to a wrong date, where magnetic

observations were made, but no declination. In the second approximation, the correction

which exactly corresponds to the time of observation has been introduced, so that

the final result is not in the least altered.

Second Approximation.

The equation of time may be considered as constant, during the observations.
The latitude, as obtained from the first approximation, is assumed in round number
= 25° 17' N.
