| Description | The Academie des Sciences in Paris has led an effort to establish a magnetic observatory in the French colony of Algiers to operate in line with the British magnetic scheme.

According to Sabine, a declination magnetometer by Grubb costs £35; a bifilar magnetometer by Grubb is £35; and a vertical force magnetometer by Robinson is £26, 5 shillings. |
