that the Honorable Company’s
Astronomer having been permitted
to proceed to Tranquebar for the
purpose of watching the circumstances
attending a total Eclipse of the
Sun on the 21st December 1843
we directed Lieutenant Ludlow

Observatory at Madras, to accompany
that Officer and assist in the
observations and we beg to
forward a copy of the result
of his journey. Lieutenant Ludlow
embraced the opportunity of
making observations of the Dip
