Methods and Examples of Exploratory Surveys.—The field-work of exploratory surveying includes the makingof some form of record of the geography of the countrypassed over, which may be either kept in note-books andworked up in ofifice or may be drafted in the field upon a sketchplane-table. Such surveys may be of a route only, especiallywhere the course traveled is the bed of a narrowly confinedstream, or through woods when little can be seen of the sur-rounding country, or it may be of an area when the explorersare traversing open country or high ridges which permit of anextended outlook over the region surrounding them. ^^XG: personnel of an exploring party should consist, if pos-sible, of one individual qualified to conduct any form of sur-vey, be it by transit, plane-table, compass, stadia, or estimate,as the circumstances may demand, and also competent to. ©^1~i^ -.^-^ n
