Having now concluded my remarks on these islands and people, I shall take my final leave of them, after giving some account of the astronomical and nautical observations that were made during our stay.

And, first, I must take notice, that the difference of longitude, between Annamooka and Tongataboo, is somewhat less than was marked in the chart and narrative of my last voyage.  This error might easily arise, as the longitude of each was then found without any connection with the other.  But now the distance between them is determined to a degree of precision, that excludes all possibility of mistake, which the following table will illustrate:—­

   The latitude of the observatory at Tongataboo,
        by the mean of several observations 21 deg. 8’ 19"S.

   The longitude, by the mean of one hundred
      and thirty-one sets of lunar observations,
      amounting to above a
      thousand observed distances, between
      the moon, son, and stars 184 deg. 55’ 88"E.

   The difference of longitude, made by
      the time-keeper, between the above
      observatory and that at Anamooka 0 16 0

Hence, the longitude of Annamooka is               185    11    18 E.
By the time    {Greenwich rate                  186    12    27
keeper it is   {New Zealand rate                184    37     0
Its latitude                                     20    15     0

N.B.  The observatory at Tongataboo was near the middle of the N. side of the island, and that at Annamooka on its W. side.

The time-keeper was too slow for mean time at Greenwich, on the first of July at noon, by 12h 34m 23’,2; and her daily rate, at that time, was losing on mean time 1’,783 per day.  This rate will now be used for finding the longitude by the time-keeper, and 184 deg. 55’ 18”, or 12h 19m 41’,2, will be taken as the true longitude of Tongataboo, E. from.  Greenwich.

By the mean of several observations, the S. end of the needle was found to dip,

   At Leefooga, one of the Hepaee islands 36 deg. 55’
      Tongataboo 39 1 1/2
   The variation of the compass was found to be
