| Summary: | The following narrative and results form the sequel to the "Memorandum on Terrestrial Magnetism,” prepared by Professor J. C. Adams, M. A., F. R. S., and Captain F. J. Evans, R. N., F. R. S., published in the “Manual and Instructions for the Arctic Expedition, 1875,” suggested by the Arctic Committee of the Royal Society. The “Alert” and “Discovery” left Portsmouth on the 29th May, 1875, and on arrival at Godhavn, in Disko, the first magnetic observations were made. The values of the declination and inclination observed at various stations round the harbour of Godhavn, showed considerable differences, evidently caused by local magnetic disturbance. |
