The mean of A and a (or the mean of A, a, and any otherround) is taken as the included angle (c) and is entered on theleft of the station, as shown in the field book. XVIII. The included angle is then applied to the bearing of thelast leg and is entered on the right of the station (d). This is the false bearing of 29 to 30, as mentioned in para. 161, 4th process. XIX.
