The Declination and Horizontal Force are deduced from hourly readings of the photographic curves, and so are corrected for the diurnal variation. The results in the following tables, Nos. I, II, III, IV, are deduced from the magnetograph curves, which have been standardised by observations of deflection and vibration. These were made with the Collimator Magnet, marked 66a, and the Declinometer Magnet, marked 66c, in the Unifilar Magnetometer No. 66 by Elliott Brothers, of London. The temperature correction (which is probably very small) has not been applied.
