This error was larger than was anticipated, but the notes showing no reason for assigning it to any one place, it was distributed over the whole length, miles, of the line, by assigning 1 to each fifteen miles. The successive increments in deviation were then computed; giving a total of five himdred and ninety-eight feet at the terminal point, equal to of longitude.
