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° 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° 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° 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° 55'
Tongataboo 39 1 1/2
The variation of the compass was found to be

At Annamooka, on board 0° 30' 3 1/2"E,
Anchor off Kotoo, between Annamooka
and Hepaee 0 12 29 1/2
Anchor off Leefooga 10 11 40
Tongataboo, on board 9 44 5 1/2
Ditto, on shore 10 12 58

I can assign no reason why the variation is so much less at and near Annamooka, than at either of the two places. I can only say, that there is no fault in the observations; and that the variation ought to be more at Annamooka than the above, as it has been found to be so to the northward, southward, eastward, and westward of it. But disagreements in the variation, greater than this, even in the same needle, have been often observed. And I should not have taken notice of this instance, but from a belief that the cause, whatever it is, exists in the place, and not in the needles, for Mr Bayley found the same, or rather more difference.

The tides are more considerable at these islands, than at any other of my discoveries in this ocean, that lie within the tropics. At Annamooka it is high water, on the full and change days, nearly at six o'clock; and the tide rises and falls there, upon a perpendicular, about six feet. In the harbour of Tongataboo, it is high water on the full and change days, at fifty minutes past six. The tide rises and falls on those days, four feet nine inches, and three feet six inches at the Quadratures. In the channels between the islands, which lie in this harbour, it flows near tide and half-tide, that is, the flood continues to run up near three hours, after it is high water by the shore, and the ebb continues to run down, after it is flood by the shore. It is only in these channels, and in a few other places near the shores, that the motion of the water or tide is perceivable, so that I can only guess at the quarter from which the flood comes. In the road of Annamooka, it sets W.S.W., and the ebb the contrary; but it falls into the harbour of Tongataboo from the N.W., passes through the two narrow channels, on each side of Hoolaiva, where it runs with considerable rapidity, and then spends itself in the _lagoon_. The ebb returns the same way, and runs with rather greater force. The N.W. tide is met, at the entrance of the _lagoon_, by one from the E.; but this, as I have before observed, was found to be very inconsiderable.[193]

[Footnote 193: Tongataboo has been visited several times by Europeans since Cook's last voyage, viz. by Perouse, in 1787; by Captain Edwards, in 1791; by D'Entrecasteaux, in 1793; and by some of the missionaries, in 1797. From the accounts furnished by some of these visits, several particulars might have been added to what has now been delivered. But they are comparatively unimportant, and did not seem to warrant any specific regard. Besides, if they had been more considerable, it would have been improper to anticipate what belongs to another part of our work. On the whole, however, the information given by Captain Cook, and his associate Mr Anderson, will ever be esteemed a faithful and very valuable description of an interesting island and people.--E.]
