29 degrees 40 minutes 10 seconds, and in long.

141 degrees 30 minutes E., and allowing 52 1/2 miles to a degree, our long.

by measurement was 139 degrees 20 minutes E.
I had ascertained the boiling point of water at our camp, about 100 feet above the level of the basin to be 212 75/100; which made our position there considerably below the level of the sea: but in using the instrument on the following morning in the bed of the basin itself, I unfortunately broke it.

As, however, the result of the observation at our bivouac gave so unusual a depression, and as, if it was correct, Lake Torrens must be very considerably below the level of the sea, I can only state that the barometer had been compared with one in Adelaide by Capt.
Frome, and that, allowing for its error, its boiling point on a level with the sea had been found by him to be 212 25/100.
On the 6th I left the neighbourhood of this place, and stopped at 16 miles to verify our former bearings.

The country appeared more desolate on our return to the camp than when we were advancing.
