14. “Results of Observations taken for Longitude by Meridian Transits of the Moon, taken at the Hutt Observatory during the year 1870,”

by Henry Jackson, Chief Surveyor of the Province of Wellington.

This valuable paper, with the attached tables, is to be printed in full by the Government, but the following abstract has been furnished by the author for immediate publication. The result of the observations so far, when reduced to the longitude of the Wellington Observatory, only make a difference of four seconds from that adopted recently by the Board of Longitude.
