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.
