| Summary: | These tidal observations were made by Sir Edward Belcher, R. N., K. C. B., on board of H. M. S. ‘Assistance,’ in the summer of 1853. They are interesting, from the fact that they were made in the highest latitudes in which tidal observations have been ever recorded. From a discussion of the heights and times of high and low water the following partial results have been obtained, which, it is hoped, will be further extended and corrected, by taking into account the height of the water at other phases of the tides. |
