the report were prepared by Mr T. Romeyn Beck and Mr 

 Joseph Henry. 



In 1826 the number of complete returns were ten^ and the 

 number of incomplete ones twelve, making twenty-two in all ; 

 but in 1828 there are twenty-four complete returns, and nine 

 incomplete, making thirty-three in all. 



In our analysis of their First Report we took the hberty of 

 pointing out some defects, which, in the true spirit of science, 

 the preparers of the present report have done their utmost to 

 supply. These defects related to the positions and altitudes 

 of the places of observation, and to the hours at which the ob- 

 servations were made. The first of these defects is partly sup- 

 plied by the following table.
