Magnetic meridian.......................... 142 53-0

True meridian (see p. 187)..................... 138 10-0

Declination East .... 4 43 • 01

1 Compare the general results (Section VI.) in reference to the cause of this great declination; it is probable that
the cause is the same for the smaller declination.in Assam.
