locality there is given, in addition, a table listing 

 the highest and lowest tides observed or inferred, 

 and the heights of mean high water, half tide 

 level, and mean low water. 



At the present time, there are in operation by 

 the Coast and Geodetic Survey 10 primary tide 

 stations located as follows: in Florida, at Key 

 West, St. Petersburg, Cedar Keys, and Pensacola; 

 in Louisiana, at New Orleans, Bayou Rigaud, and 

 Eugene Island; in Texas, at Galveston, Rockport, 

 and Port Isabel. Most of these stations have been 

 in operation for a number of years, at Galveston, 

 for example, since 1909. For each of these sta- 

 tions there are available, in the files of the Coast 

 and Geodetic Survey at Washington, tabulations 

 giving the hourly heights of the tide and the times 

 and heights of high and low waters. There are 

 also available summaries giving the monthly and 

 yearly heights of high water, low water, and sea 

 level. 



Tide stations have also been operated in recent 

 years by the governments of Mexico and Cuba.
