NOTE ―Local mean time of the Madras Ob-
servatory is practically used as standard time
for India and Ceylon, being telegraphed daily
all over the country; but for strictly local use it
is generally converted into local mean time.
It is proposed soon to adopt the standard time
meridian of 5h 30m 0s east from Greenwich for
India and Ceylon and the standard time meri-
dian of 6h 30m 0s east from Greenwich for Burma.
