According to the resolution expressed in the account of the Trigonometrical Survey, printed in the Philosophical Transactions for the year 1795, we now communicate to the public, through the same channel, a farther relation of its progress. On referring to the above paper, it will be found that, for the prosecution of this undertaking, a design was formed of proceeding to the westward, with a series of triangles, for the survey of the coast. This intention has been carried into effect; and as the small theodolite, or circular instrument, announced in our former communication as then in the hands of Mr. Ramsden, was finished early in the summer of 1795, we are enabled to give a series of triangles, extending, in conjunction with those before given, from the Isle of Thanet, in Kent, to the Land's End.

The year began favourable, the winter was mild and not in general wet; there was indeed a pretty deal of rain the first half of February, but the latter part of that month was warm and forwarding, and the spring continued to advance from that time with much fewer frosty mornings and N.E. winds than there frequently are at that season, the many strong Westerly winds keeping them back. The seed-time was fine, and the season good for corn. There were Northerly winds the former part of April, but they were not sharp ones; and the latter part of the month was hot, some days more so than in the height of summer.

My dear Sir, I have now the pleasure of communicating to you the desired information concerning the dugong. At Singapore, in June last, I had the good fortune to meet with one of these animals, and Messrs. Diard and Duvaucel, two French naturalists, employed under my authority, undertook the dissection of it; and have sent a dissertation upon it to Sir Joseph Banks. This does not interfere with my sending to you, as I promised, an account of it. I was present at the dissection; and the following observations, as far as they go, may be depended upon. I have read them over to Dr. Wallick and General Hardwicke, and they concur in opinion as to the correctness of the description. I have the pleasure to acquaint you, that General Hardwicke has just now got a small dugong, four feet six inches long, which I have succeeded in persuading him to send home to you for dissection, and you will receive it by the next ships. The dugong which we examined measured eight feet and a half in length, and afforded no less interest under the knife than satisfaction on the table, as the flesh proved to be most excellent beef. Our entertainment was truly marine; for we had on the same day discovered those Neptunian sponges which General Hardwicke has since described, and which served us as goblets.
