1. With a view to comparing the values of Secular Change of Declination, Horizontal Force and Dip, at various stations on the coasts of the British Isles, with the values derived from the continuous records at Kew Observatory, the Hydrographer (Rear-Admiral A. Mostyn Field, F. R. S.) directed that during the year 1907 observations were to be made at certain stations, selected from those which had been occupied by Prof. Rücker and Dr.Thorpe during their Magnetic Survey for the epoch 1st January, 1891. 2. The observers detailed for the work were Captain M. H. Smyth, R. N., H. M. S. “Research”; Captain W. Pudsey-Dawson, R. N., H. M. S. “Triton”; and Captain J. W. Combe, R. N., H. M. Surveying Vessel “Gladiator."
