These observations will be useful in filling up (as far as
they go) the Magnetic survey of this part of India and
determining the present position of the Magnetic Equator
and possess a further interest as affording a compari
son with a similar series taken some years since
by Messrs Taylor and Caldicott by which the progres-
sive changes of the Dip especially may be satisfactorily
determined,
I have the honor to be

Your most obedient servant
