399# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,

402
403# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1996-01-22);
404# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
405# Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition),
406# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
407# Except where noted, it is the source for the data above.
408#
409# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
410# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
411# I found in the UCLA library.
412#
413# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
414# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude,
415# Oxford University Press (1980).

795# From Paul Eggert (1995-12-19);
796# Shanks reports 2:00 for all autumn changes in Australia and New Zealand.
797# Robert Uzgalis <buz@cs.aukuni.ac.nz> writes that the New Zealand Daylight
798# Savings Time Order in Council dated 1990-06-18 specifies 2:00 standard
799# time on both the first Sunday in October and the third Sunday in March.
800# As with Australia, we'll assume the tradition is 2:00s, not 2:00.
801#
802# Shanks gives no data for Chatham, but usno1995 says it's +12:45/+13:45.
803# Guess NZ switchover rules for now.

807# Fiji
808
809# Howse writes (p 162) that in 1879 the British governor of Fiji
810# enacted an ordinance standardizing the islands on +12:00.
811# Perhaps it didn't take. We go with Shanks's more precise date in 1915.
