The recomputation of the past ILS observations has been carried out at Mizusawa and partly at Cagliari. Preliminary reduction of the observations at the northern stations has been completed. The coordinates of the pole were calculated preliminarily and were compared with those by Vicente and Yumi (1969, 1970). It is known that the coordinates of the pole in the past ILS reports require considerable corrections which are probably mainly due to errors of the micrometer values. Magnetic tapes of the original observational records and of the individual latitudes are now available on request.
