BY last mail I sent you a brief account of my eclipse observations at Tahoraite on the 9th inst., and a diagram illustrating the corona. Owing to a miscalculation as to closing time of mail the account had to be very hurriedly written; there was no time to revise it or to find out the longitude and latitude of the point of observation, but this information I am now able to supply from the Trigonometrical Survey Records at Napier:- The longitude and latitude ofthe nearest Trigonometrical Station, No. 83, from which the above were calculated, seems to have been originally fixed with reference to Trigonometrical Station No. 60, Lighthouse Reserve, Napier, whose latitude then, according to observations taken in January 1871, was 39° 28' 47''.30. According to fresh observations taken in February 1885 the latitude of the same point is 39° 28' 43''.52 +/- 0° 0' 0''.04. If both series of observations are correct, a reduction in latitude to the extent of about 3''.78 must have taken place since 1871.
