The mean of the three is 32 degrees 14 minutes 55 seconds.

And again at 7 hours 12 minutes 52 seconds, per sun and moon, 32 degrees 10 minutes 4 seconds; and at 7 hours 19 minutes 42 seconds, per sun and moon, 32 degrees 15 minutes 20 seconds.

The mean of these two is 32 degrees 12 minutes 42 seconds, and the mean of the whole is 32 degrees 13 minutes 43 seconds West from Greenwich, which is less by a whole Degree than that by account, which is a Considerable Error to be made in 5 Days in these low Latitudes.

One would think from this that we must have had a Current setting to the Eastward, which is not likely that it should set against the settled trade wind.

The 3 first of these Observations were made by Mr.Green, and the 2 last by myself.
