TABLES

LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE, VARIATION OF THE COMPASS, AND TIDE.

------

COASTS OF BRAZIL, RIVER PLATA, AND EASTERN PATAGONIA.

------

The Latitudes to which the character * is prefixed, have resulted from Astronomical Observation. The Longitudes which have been determined by Chronometers, are designated by C.; and those by Lunar Distances by *). Those without distinguishing marks are the result of Triangulation.

The Longitudes in the following Tables depend upon that of Villegagnon Island at Rio de Janeiro, which was found by fourteen Chronometers from Plymouth to be 43deg 05' 03" West of Greenwich.

TABLE IV.

OUTER, OR SEA COAST, OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO.

------

In order to adapt the longitudes of the places mentioned in this Table to the meridians of Port Famine and St. Martin Cove, at Cape Horn, the following corrections[209] have been made to Captain Fitz-Roy's chronometrical results, _viz_:--

Townshend Harbour } { 0'11"}
Stewart Harbour } { 0 23 } to the Eastward of Captain
Doris Cove } have been placed { 0 33 } Fitz-Roy's chronometrical
March Harbour } { 1 6 } deductions.
Good Success Bay } { 2 0 }

By Captain Fitz-Roy's observations St. Martin Cove would be in long. 67deg 31' 18", which is 2' 15" to the Westward of the mean of upwards of thirty chronometrical results from Monte Video. The difference has, therefore, been equally divided between North Cove and St. Martin Cove; the longitude of the latter being taken at 67deg 29' 03", and of Port Famine at 70deg 54'.
