Late return—
(a) September .. .. .. .. | 4·14 | 16 | 1·40 on 5th

  • The return was 2½ times greater, but it is suspected that a 5in. measure has been in use for an 8in. gauge, which has about 2½ times greater area than a gauge 5in. in diameter. The figures are altered to this, and the measure will be replaced.—D. C. B.
