| Summary: | The present investigation was undertaken at the request of Sir Ernest Shackleton; the expense of the reduction was defrayed by him, and this paper is now communicated to the Royal Society by his permission. It will ultimately be republished as a contribution to the volume of the physical results of the expedition. The first section, describing the method of observing, is by Mr. James Murray. The second section explains the reduction of the observations and gives a comparison between the new results and those obtained by the “Discovery” in 1902-3. The third section is devoted to the discussion of certain remarkable oscillations of mean sea-level and to speculations as to their cause and meaning. |
