Longitude.
For the definitive determination of the longitude of Srinagger, we took as the
basis the results obtained by the G. T. S. for the Lanka Island, in the Great Viiler
Lake, and for the mountain Takt-i-Sulaiman.
The longitudes, as given by the G. T. S., are:
Lanka Island.................. 74 36 23 1
Takt-i-Sulaiman................ 74 49 43.
By combining these places with the building in the Shekh Bagh (where the
observations were taken) we obtain:
Longitude East Green, of Srinagger .... 74° 48'-5.
Cunningham gives in his work on "Ladak", p. 425, without mentioning the
elements upon which these values are based:
Latitude North. Longitude East Green.
34° 5' 28" 74° 58' 0".
Another longitude (but, as the result showed, only an approximative one) was
calculated from the eclipse of the moon, observed at Pashmin,2 1856, October 13 to 14,
and referred to Srinagger.
The observations of Tycho gave (see p. 115):
Longitude East Green............. 75° 22' 40";
observations of the Mare crisium (see p. 116):
Longitude East Green............. 75° 51' 30".
Meridian.
Calculated from the Observations of the second series, October 25 . . . 23(i° 10' -5.
No. 62. Daveb, in Kashmir.
This small village is situated in the Gures valley, on the left side of the Kishen-
ganga, an affluent flowing into the Jhilum, near Mozaferabad.
The Gures valley and the valley of Kashmir to the south lie parallel to each other.
The magnetic intensity only was determined at thia place; the co-ordinates are approxi-
matively computed from itinerary references to Srinagger.
Observer: Adolphe.
1 Corrected for — 3' 25", as are all G. T. S. Longitudes. Compare also p. 100.
a Pashmin is situated in Kishtvar, in Latitude X.: 33° 57', Longitude East Green.: 75° 41'.
