The total time occupied in the work was from May 16 to October 25, 1913, a total of 

 162 days. With 38 stations occupied, excluding the 20 days for travel from Washington to 

 Lac Seul and back, the average would be 3.7 days for a station of the main part of the trip, 

 or about 8 stations a month. The total distance traveled was approximately 5,312 miles, 

 of which about 2,038 miles were by canoes from Lac Seul to Fort Severn and Fort Albany 

 and up the Albany River to Lac Seul. The average distance between the 36 stations of the 

 canoe trip was 56.6 miles. In the canoe work, 90 separate camps and days travel were 

 made, giving a daily average of 22.5 miles. In about 1,500 miles of river work, 126 

 portages occurred, from a few yards up to 3.5 miles in length, with a total of about 30 miles, 

 and an average of one-quarter mile to a portage. 



Besides the regular magnetic observations, variation observations in declination, in 

 accordance with instructions, were taken at Osnaburgh on a small island near Trout Lake 

 Post (opposite side of the lake), at Fort Severn, and at Jekenakoshis. The weather was in
