Sixthly, That to the Eastward of the _Molucca's_ and _Van Diemens_ Land in South Latitude there arises another Easterly Variation, which seems not so great as the former, nor of so large Extent; for that at the Island _Rotterdam_ it is sensibly less than upon the East Coast of _New Guinea_; and, at the rate it decreases, it may well be suppos'd, that about 20 Degrees farther East, or 225 Degrees East Longitude from _London_, in the Latitude of 20 Degrees South, a Westerly Variation begins. Seventhly, That the Variations observ'd by the Honourable Sir _John Norborough_ at _Baldivia_, and at the West Entrance of the _Straights_ of _Magellan_ do plainly shew, that That East Variation, noted in our third Remark, is decreasing apace; and that it cannot reasonably extend many Degrees into the South Sea from the Coast of _Peru_ and _Chili_, leaving room for a small Westerly Variation, in that Tract of the unknown World that lies in the mid-way between _Chili_ and _New-Zealand_, and between _Hounds-Island_ and _Peru_. Eighthly, That in Sailing North-West from St. _Helena_ by _Ascension_, as far as the Equator, the Variation continues very small East, and as it were constantly the same: So that in this part of the World the Course, wherein there is no Variation, is evidently no Meridian, but rather North-West. Ninthly, That the Entrance of _Hudson's Straights_, and the Mouth of the River of _Plate_, being nearly under the same Meridian, at the one place the Needle varies 29½ Degrees to the _West_; at the other 20½ Degrees to the _East_. This plainly demonstrates the impossibility of reconciling these Variations by the Theory of _Bond_; _which is by two Magnetical Poles and an Axis, inclin'd to the Axis of the Earth_; from whence it would follow, That _under the same Meridian the Variation should be in all places the same way_.
