Note, In the above statement, where the equal altitudes,

and the paffage of the over the meridian have not given
the fame error, a mean has been taken, however the dif-
ference in all cafes was fo fmall, that it might arise from
a-want of perfection in making the obfervations themselves.

Result of the observations made up the St.
Mary's for determining the longitude.
