From the elimination equations derived in the solution, I 

 have, 



i=- [0.39772 ] + [9-36493"] J 



. w = [8.71081,,] + [8.00681,,] V 



7£/ = [8.6looi„] + [7.98091 ];' 



2= [0.40361,,] + [9.42686 ].)' 



jf = [8.90696,1] + [9.98806 ] V 



From these, by substituting the values of x, y, z, in terms of 

 Atl, JS2, Ji, etc., I find, 



A/i = constant -f o''''.oii399AY^/g 



Now put. 



where v is any number, positive, negative or fractional. Sub- 

 stituting the above value of JM^^ in the expressions for the cor- 

 rections to the elements, I have for that portion of the correc- 

 tions which depend upon v, the following : 



A^ =-f o''''.oii4y 

 A^ = — I .39613' 

 A< ^ — o .1140V 

 A£2 ::= — o .01741" 

 Aw = — 3 .05931^ 



Applying these corrections to Elements IV, as given in 26, 

 they take the indeterminate and definitive form : 



Elements V.
