heights of high and low water at Wellington and Auckland,
as standard ports, and constants to ninety-six other places
in the Dominion; also the tidal-stream predictions for Tory
Channel and French Pass, where the tidal streams attain a
rate of 5 to 7 knots at springs.

Courses and distances between all the principal ports in
New Zealand, also between New Zealand and Australia,
Fiji, South Africa, San Francisco, Vancouver, Valparaiso,
Ceylon, Suez, New York, and to England, via Cape Horn
and Panama, with the return via Cape Town, have also been
given, the great-circle and composite courses having been
worked out to these places.

Some very valuable nautical tables and examples of
problems worked by their aid are published in the Almanac,
which it is hoped will greatly encourage masters and officers
generally to make a practice of determining the ship’s posi-
tion from two stars at twilight, as these tables make the
problems very easy, and also enable the observer to make
sure that he is taking the right star by the easy calculation
of the approximate altitude, as the calculated reductions
and azimuths of several bright stars have been tabulated,
and can be taken out at sight.

The publication may be obtained at the Government
Shipping Offices at Wellington, Auckland, Lyttelton, and
Dunedin, at the Customhouses at other ports, and from the
booksellers who stock it.

The book can be obtained in United Kingdom from the
New Zealand High Commissioner, Strand, London, W.C.
