The three following sections were taken in a manner dif-ferent from all the rest. They ivere made by measuring ina straight sloping line, or nearly straight, from certain points,towards k and n ; and, at the beginning of the line, takingthe angle of elevation or depression of several places or points-in it, whose distance from the beginning were measured. Inthese cases, each distance is the hypotbenuse of a right-angledtriangle ; and the manner of operation is this, as radius is tothe hypothenuse, or measured slope distance, so is the sineof the elevation or depression, to the difference of altitude,and so is the cosine of the same vertical angle, to the hori-zontal distance.
