Abstract
DURING the last twenty years a great many observers have carried on magnetic work in different parts of Africa. A summary of the results up to 1900 at the Cape of Good Hope has been collected and published by Prof. Morrison and the writer,1 and one for Northern Africa by Mr. B. F. E. Keeling;2 since 1898 a magnetic survey of South Africa has been in progress; between that date and 1906 observations were taken at more than four hundred stations by Prof. Morrison and the writer, with assistance at one time and another from Mr. S. S. Hough, Prof. A. Brown, Prof. L. Crawford and Mr. V. A. Löwinger. A report by the present writer on the work during this period, including a summary of the earlier work in Africa, south of the Zambezi, was published for the Royal Society at the Cambridge University Press.3
