ResumoAs far back as 1887 the late Professor FitzGerald, of Trinity College, Dublin, expressed a desire for a series of magnetic observations to be made in Ireland, when the writer offered to undertake the work if he was provided with instruments, and obtained the consent of the Meteorological Council. This was done, and an old pattern unifilar by Jones, with a dip circle by Barrow, being loaned by Trinity College, experimental observations were commenced in a wooden hut erected in the Observatory grounds in Valencia Island, with funds supplied by the Eoyal Irish Academy. The result of the first few years of this series was published in the ‘Proceedings of the Eoyal Irish Academy,’ and the observations were continued until the end of 1896. The observatory was removed in 1892 to Cahirciveen, about 4 miles eastward.
