During the operation of this year, the instrupgie^t w^se a^Isp. takento the following stations, viz. Bidenden Steeple,Hartridge,Warehorn Steeple,,Stone Crouch,Iden Steeple. To determine the distances between these objects, and the stationsfrom whence they were observed,, we have the following triangles. No. 88 Triangles.
