| Date | 1 April 1882 |
| Description | Informs of a proposal from Mr. [John] Murray to continue, during the summer of 1882, an investigation of the Faroe Channel, started in 1880. States that in 1880, the Lords of the Admiralty were supportive of a similar application by [Charles Thomas] Wyville Thomson, but unable to spare a vessel.
