MEREs AND WOODS. The method of measuring Meres and Woods by the Chainand Cross, has already been shewn in Part III. It is here pro-posed to survey them by the Chain only. In this case, you must not only measure on the outside of themere, or wood, and take insets as before directed; but also takesuch external angles, or tie-lines, as will enable you to lay downthe figure. EXAMPLE. Let the following figure represent a mere, the area of whichis required. Part IF.) LAND-SURVEYING. 163 AS 1 ,•••. Begin at -f- 1, and measure eastward as far as -f 2, takinginsets as you proceed; then produce the line to -j- 3. Returnto -j- 2, and measure northward as far as -j- 4; thence run aline backward to -f- 3, which will tie the first and second to -f- 4, continue the line to -f- 5, and produce it to+ 6.—Return to -f 5, and proceed westward to -J- 7> *ne dis~ M 2 16-4 LAND-SURVEYING.

From -|- 8 proceed to -f- 1, and you will have ob- tained the following dimensions. Note.—Here it may be observed, that after the first three lines are laiddown, the fourth line will exactly reach from + 8 to + 1 ; if the operationshave been performed with correctness. 0 1625 to 4- I. 60 1100 iooo 23 800 30 600 60 96 0 ooo From + 8, go S. 0 1150 to 4- 8. 100 11001000 0 900 0 700 - 40 400 4-
