MAGNETIC VARIATION ON COAST OF NORTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 12th December, 1903.

REFERRING to Notice to Mariners No. 1 of 1900, issued by this Department on the 10th January, 1900, respecting the magnetic declination on the coast of the South Island of New Zealand, the following table showing the magnetic declination or variation of the compass on the coast of the North Island of the colony, received from the Surveyor-General, is published for general information.

Charts, &c., affected: Admiralty charts Nos. 2598, 1212; and all the New Zealand North Island charts.

WM. HALL-JONES.

VALUES OF THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION, COMMONLY CALLED THE VARIATION OF THE COMPASS, ON THE COAST OF THE NORTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND.

These declinations are corrected to June, 1903, for which date they may be taken as accurate. The annual change in New Zealand waters approximates very closely to three minutes (3'), increasing at the stations marked with an asterisk (*). The declination was found to be irregular. Irregularities of a systematic nature exist along the east coast from Tolago Bay to Marsden Point.

The best harbour for compass correction is Port Nicholson.
