The latitude of the Great Salt Lake was taken from about the centre of the north side of it, where the party were encamped.
In 1786 Don Pablo Zisur, a lieutenant in the Spanish navy, had fixed the north-east angle of the lake in lat. 37° 10´, and 4° 36´ west of the meridian of Luxan (Guardia); according to him the lake of Cabeza del Buey is in lat. 36° 8´, and the Guardia de Luxan in 34° 36´. Azara fixed it in 34° 38´ 36".
