    In order to know gravity anomalies at sea, measurement of gravity on islands has the same importance as measurements on board vessels. In July 1961 and June to July 1962, gravity measurement at sea around the Izu-island was carried out by means of the Surface Ship Gravitymeter, and in cooperation with these operation, gravity measurement on the islands in these area has been carried out at Niizima, Kozushima, Miyakeshima, and Hatsusima island. The results are tabulated in the table I.

    The diurnal variation in the latitude is discussed on the results obtained with the Mizusawa PZT for the period from 1957 to 1960.
    The conditional equation to derive the diurnal variation is as follows :
    Δψi=Δψ0+Δδi+a sin 2π τi+b cos 2π τi+c sin 4π τi+d cos 4π τi+k(Cc'+Dd'),
    δi:declination correction to the group i τi: unit in day.
    The results are derived with two assumptions of Δδi≠0 and Δδi=0 and are given as follows.
    Some explanations for the cause of the diurnal variation are made, but they reveal themselves to be poor for the purpose.
    The close inverse correlation is found between the semidiurnal variation in both atmos-pheric pressure and the latitude observed with the Mizusawa PZT.

    Geometrical situation of the problem of the determination of a station position based on a set of simultaneous observations of an artificial satellite is fully discussed. Concerning this problem, a method of deriving simultaneous data based on constructing a preliminary satellite's orbit is also developed. Working formulae for the main problem together with a numerical example are given.

    A new method of determining the instantaneous pole's coordinates of the Earth from the data of time observations is described here, and a calculation after this method is made with the data of international time observations for eleven stations which have kept good time observations during 6 years from 1955.5 to 1961.5. The results of x and y obtained by this method correspond to the coordinates on the fixed mean pole for the period of the data availed. Taking this into account, the present results are proved to be rather good agreement with the results of the International Latitude Service, and the fixed mean pole for this case is shown to be at x=+0″.062 and y=+0″.186 on the coordinate system of 1900-'05 of the I.L.S.
    Corrections to be applied to the conventional longitude of each station for obtainning the consistent system are also given here as well as the station errors in periodic and irregular characters for each station.

    Variations in the rate of rotation of the Earth are determined from the comparison of the mean UT1 against an atomic time scale for the period of 7 years from 1956 to 1962. The mean UT1 is that obtained from the weighted mean of the data of eleven observatories which have kept good time observations for the period from 1955.5 to 61.5, and for-the remainning period from 1961.5 to 62.9 only the data of the Tokyo UT1 is used instead Corrections for the longitude variation which are used to obtain the true UT1 are calcu-lated from the instantaneous pole's coordinates of the Earth determined by the same authors solely from the time observation data. While, the atomic time scale is principally based on cesium frequency standards at the N. P. L. (England) and the N. R. L. (U. S. A.).
    As a result of this comparison correction for the seasonal variation in the rate of rotation of the Earth is separated as follows,
    where t is the fractions of year. As for the residual variations the general aspect of the clock-face of the “Earth Clock” may be represented by five pieces of straight lines with different inclinations for the fractional periods, 1956.057.2 (-115 × 10-10), 1957.2-58.5 (-165 × 10-10), 1958.5-60.4 (-150 × 10-10), 1960.4-62.3 (-130 × 10-10) and 1962.3- (-155 × 10-10 ?). In these residual variations, moreover, the existence of a periodic term of some 5.5 years is plausible, although it is not yet definite.
