I' 1. A second Light house has been erected on the Tiliand, and
Instead of the revolving light formerly used, both are now provided
with a fixed light. live keiibt of the last erected Lighthouse,
which is situated more to the north than the old sae, is 90 feet,
viz. 20 feet less than the latter. The distance between them is
-80 sagines. 'They are in a line with the meridian.
" 2. The Lighthouse situated en the Schkers of Finland, near
Onus. was formerly provided with a revolving light, which has
been changed for a fixed ohs, and is 100 feet above*, level of
the sea.
" 3. The Parkalaoet .Light-house, which is 150 feet high, is
lighted by an alternate light. It differs from the Narguin Light-
house by its being visible for 14 minutesoduring an interval of three
minutes; the second half of this interval is divided into three parts,
that is to say, the light disappears for about 35 seconds ; next, it
shows itself fist a quarter of a minute; the flame is •Mterviards
eclipsed until the moment when it recommences to shine for about
minutes. This will render the Parkalaout Light•bnuse easy to
distinguished from that of Narguin, although at a little distance.
" 4. The Narguin Light-house, which had been injured by the
inundation of 1924, has been removed 190 sveltes beyond the place
where it formerly. stood. towards S.W.. It is now 50 feet higher
than before, and continues to be lighted on three sides, the light of
which is, by means of refraction, caocentrated on the same point."
