EDINBURGH, May 31,'89. DEAR SIR.-I have just returned from a six weeks' stay at the Ben Nevis Obervatory, and while there had an opportunity of testing the admirable qualities of your new "Watkin Aneroid. The result has been most satisfactory, the extreme error noted being only about 1 of an inch. During my stay at the Observatory the Aneroid was frequently tested by taking it down 2000 feet and then comparing it with the standard on my return.
