N. B. The place of this last pole

would seem to be the same as n the

Western cairn,

as the section was

directed throug

h it. But then the

last number 1316 is too great; as,

from all other measures, the diff. in

alt

between a

and n is only 1303

feet. This diff. of 13 feet seems to

be caused by the last bearing being

about 7'too great, for in other places

this angle is only 58° 51'.

And in- |

deed many other angles taken at thesame time with tne above seem to bemuch wrong, as they greatly differfrom corresponding ones taken atother times.

Such differences among corre-sponding angles I often met with inthe measures contained in the booksof the survey, and it required muchcare to detect them, and trouble toreconcile them.

This is a horizontal or level sectionthrough A, and therefore each point isfeet (the height of the theodolite)above that point.
