  <dc:description>Describes his difficulties in obtaining a pocket-sized apparatus devised by Fox for observing dips in a magnetic needle. He now proposes to make a magnetic tour through south-western France and requests the loan of such an instrument. He poses some technical questions on its construction before presenting a brief history of his dip observations in the Brazils, Italy, Egypt and Abyssinia.</dc:description>
