Summary. If sufficient data are taken, the lunar tide at midnight at certain stations a very great distance from the coast, such as Irkutsk (Siberia), is found to be significantly different from zero. This provides further evidence for the existence of a non‐oceanic contribution to the night‐time lunar geomagnetic tide.
