Cher Jacques,

 théorie interessant, mais il y a encore une difference de 10 degrees, et de plus je ne peut pas m'imaginer que Jules Verne qui à navigué lui-même a fait des calcules comme ca.

interesting theorie, but there is still a difference of some 10 degrees, and I can not imagine that JV who navigated himself have calculated in this way...

  If we consider that a "meridian" is a whole great circle, then Paris
  meridian also extends across the Pacific, along what we would call
  longitude 180 degrees.

  The position given by JV is 37 degrees west (as from the original French
  edition) of this meridian. This is in fact 143 degrees east of Paris, or
  145 east of Greenwich.

  And then everything is consistent.
