A two-dimensional form of the pseudogravity transformation, applicable to bodies magnetized in directions not parallel to the ambient field, is given. An adaptation of this transformation enables the direction of magnetization of the body to be estimated, within limits, from the magnetic anomaly it causes. The method has been programmed for a computer. A simple extension enables it to be applied to three-dimensional bodies. Tests against calculated magnetic profiles over geometrical shapes show the method to be reliable. Applied to the Lambay magnetic anomaly in the Irish Sea, it indicates a body magnetized approximately in the direction of the present Earth's field.
