•MPHER — 4'^'' ANN. REP. MAGNETIC SURVEY OF MISSOURI. 461 



Station 92 — near Columbia, Boone Co. Lat. 38° 56'; Ion. 92° iS'. On 

 the St. Charles road, 2 miles E. of Columbia. The station was on an old 

 track of the road 237 ft. from the forks of the Richland and St. Charles 

 roads. The junction of the two roads is in front of W. L. Arnold's house. 

 The numbers of the land could not be learned. Polaris observation. 



Station ()t, — McCredie, Callaway Co., Mo. Lat. 38° 58'; Ion. 91° 55'. 

 Station will be found by starting at the intersection of the Columbia and 

 St. Charles road with the Chicago & Alton R.R., measuring 630 feet west 

 along the centre of the Columbia road, thence south 236 feet. Sun obser- 

 vations. 



Station 94— m Callaway Co. Lat. 38° 57'; Ion. 91° 47'. In sec. 8, tp. 

 48, r. 8 W., on the farm of C. H. Loomis. The station was 37 ft. from the 

 . W. edge of Auxvasse creek, 117 ft. N. from the centre of the St. Charles 

 road (as seen to the W.), and 17 ft. E. of the centre of a neighborhood road 

 which runs up the W. side of the creek. Polaris observation and morning 

 elongation of the needle. 



Station 95 — Dancille, Montgomery Co. Lat. 38^ 51'; Ion. 91° 32'. Sta- 

 tion just W. of town, in the angle of the Columbia road where it turns S., 

 and three squares W. of the court-house square. Polaris observation and 

 morning elongation of the needle. 



St ATios ^6 — Warrenlon, Warren Co. Lat. 38° 46'; Ion. 91=08'. The 

 numbers of the lana could not be learned from the owner. The station 

 was perhaps half a mile S. of the St. Charles road, on a road which crosses 

 it near the E. end of the city, and in the centre of a small '' slough" just N. 

 of the farm-house of Christ Drake. This house displays a sign upon which 

 stands the legend, " Cheap John, from Paris, Tailor." Polaris obser- 

 vation. 



Station c^i—Dardcnne Prairk, St. Charles Co. Lat. 38= 43'; Ion. 90° 42'. 

 Station about ^ a mile E.of Dardenne P. O. in the pasture field of Strother 

 Johnson, under a persimmon tree about 160 ft. from the road fence, and 

 about 345 ft. from the west side of the yard. Polaris observation and a 

 morning elongation of the needle. 



Station 98 a.- St. Louis Co. Lat. 38° 44' ; Ion. 90° 31 ' . Opposite St. 

 Charles on the "rock road." The station was just at the base of the bluffs, 

 under a large elm tree on the W. side of Taussig av., 410 ft. N. of the cen- 

 tre of the St. Charles and St. Louis " rock road." Polaris observation and 

 a morning elongation. The declination value was much larger than was 

 anticipated, and a check observation was made at station 98 b., the obser- 

 vation being made as at 98 b. 



Station 98 ^.-On the S. side of the rock road, 369 ft. E. of the centre 

 of Taussig av. The result was y less than at station a. This abnormal 

 result was certainly not produced by the railroad bridge, which is very 

 much too far away. 



Station (^—Fationsvilk; St. Lotus Co. Lat. 38° 42' ; Ion. 90° 29' . On 

 farm of v\m. Post, about J a mile S.E. of the village. Station 92 ft. from 

 the centre of the rock road (in a S.W. direction) and 308 ft. from the door-
