Abstract
WHILE the variation of magnetic dip in Europe (from about 71° in Aberdeen to 58° in Rome) probably gives little, if any, trouble to users of compasses and portable horizontal galvanometers with pivoted needles, the dip of about 58° to the south at the Cape is sufficient to disturb seriously such instruments.
