IV. On the tides of the arctic seas. —Part III. On the semidiurnal tides of frederiksdal, near Cape Farewell, in Greenland

The observations discussed in this paper by the Rev. Dr. Haughton were made for him (in 1863-64), at the request of Admiral Irminger of the Royal Danish Navy, by Missionary Asboe, at Frederiksdal, near Cape Farewell in Greenland. They proved amply sufficient for the complete discussion of the semidi...
