| Popis: | In these communications are recorded all the magnetic observations made by Lieutenant Foster, alone or in conjunction with Captain Parry and the other officers of the Northwestern Expedition, in the years 1824 and 1825; and they embrace a variety of points of prominent interest in the theory of magnetism. They are digested under separate heads, according as they refer to one or other of the following points:— 1. The variation, and its daily and hourly change. 2. The dip, and the changes observed in it. 3. The intensity of the earth’s magnetic force, as estimated in a horizontal plane, and that of the dipping-needle, as referred to its natural direction. |
