Abstract
In the following, paper I propose to place on record, and submit for the information of the Royal Society, the observations made by me for the determination of the magnetic inclination, or dip of the magnetic needle, during the recent voyages of H. M. S. 'Iron Duke’ in the Eastern Seas, when visiting China, Japan, and places adjacent, between October 1871 and April 1875. The instrument employed was a six-inch dip-circle by Robinson, furnished with two needles, and graduated to ten minutes, which was formerly the property of the late Capt. Francis P. Blackwood, R. N., and which was used by me during that officer’s survey of the N. E. coast of Australia in H. M. S. ‘Fly,’ 1842-46.
