Notice of £50 grant from B.A.A.S. to JH and G. A. Erman to support H. J. R. Petersen in recomputing Gaussian constant for 1839. [JH annotation: £40 remitted 13 Mar. 1871; £10 remaining.]
Sorry to learn of error in B.A.A.S. resolution regarding computation of Gaussian constant. JH's proposal, explained by G. G. Stokes, was passed by Committee of Recommendations. Errors occurred later, in transcription. Will resubmit JH's proposal to Council.
Clerical error of '1839' instead of '1829' in JH's proposal has occurred in many other reports. No need to wait for Council approval. Will also inform G. A. Erman.
Announces business meeting of Council on 11 Mar.
Having been placed jointly in charge with G. A. Erman of a B.A.A.S. grant expenditure to support H. J. R. Petersen's recomputation of Gaussian constant for 1829, JH asks for corrections in the statement of the actions funded.
Agrees with GG and G. G. Stokes that the 'Magnetic Reduction Grant' should be approved. G. A. Erman also agrees.
