  <dc:title>Letter from Humphrey Lloyd, Trinity College, Dublin to James Clark Ross</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Lloyd councils Ross on the best arrangement of a magnetic observatory, such as Ross will help to establish in Van Diemen's Land [Tasmania; Lutruwita or Truwana].

Instruments for Ross's polar expedition and the [Tasmania] observatory are being made by [Thomas] Grubb and [Thomas Charles] Robinson, and Lloyd advises Ross on the best method for observing with certain of them. Ross's second-in-command [Francis] Crozier has recently been in Dublin and Lloyd has spoken with him about instruments and method. </dc:description>
