A survey and map of the city of Sholapur has been prepared,
and wiil soon be ready for publication.
Tidal observations were taken at Aden ; Karachi^ Bombay and
Karw5r.
At Aden the tidal observations were carried on without a
break, and a new anemometer has been put up to replace the one
worn out. The observatory was inspected in December, and all
the instruments cleaned and put in order.
The observations at Karachi were made satisfactorily with few
unimportant interruptions. The observatory was inspected in
December.
In Bombay observations were taken at the Apollo Bandar, and
the results have been entirely satisfactory. The new gauge has
not been put up at the Prince’s Dock, owing to the question being
mixed up with that of lighting the entrances to the Dock.
The tidal observations have been successfully carried on at
Karwar, and four years were completed on the 1st March. The
anemometer, which had become worn out, was taken down and its
observation suspended, as there was no spare instrument available.
There appears to be some engineering difficulty in excavating
a place for the cylinder of the tide gauge at BMvnagar.
All the observations made at the different stations were reduced
in the office at Poona, and sent to England.
There were no levelling operations in this
