Brought forward — 07 19.64 

 Longitude of Toledo Station, - - + 5 34 09.57 



2d Approximation. 

 Longitude of Cleveland Station, by the observations 



of January, 1859, - - - + 5 26 49.93 



\st Approximation. 

 Longitude of same station by the observations of 



August, 1858, as before given, - -j- 5 26 49.16 



Approximate Result adopted — Longitude of the in- 

 tersection of the middle of Bank street with the 

 north-western margin of Lake street, Cleveland, 

 Ohio, west of the meridian of Greenwich, - 5 26 49.54 



Equal, in arc, to - - - - 81° 42' 23".l W. 



Approximate latitude of the same station, as before 



given, - - - - 4P30'10"N. 



We think the position above given may be relied on as within Is. 

 of time for the longitude, and within 15 seconds of arc for the lati- 

 tude; an approximation which may be useful to geographers. 



According to this approximation, the new Court House at Cleve- 

 land is in about: 



Latitude .... 41° 30' 05" N. 



Long-itude, from Greenwich, - - 81° 42' 06". 1 VV. 



Equal, in time, to - - - 5h. 26m. 48.4s. 



XXIV. COLUMBUS, THE CAPITAL OF OHIO. 



Station. — From this station, to a point perpendicularly under the 

 centre of the dome of the State Capital, is S. 10° E. (true) 277 feet, 

 horizontal measurement. Hence, the reduction from our station to 

 the centre of the said dome is, in latitude, — 2". 7, and in longitude 

 — 0".62 in arc, = — 0s.04 in time. 



1859, January 25th. The night was hazy; but as any errors 

 from the atmospheric refraction, that might arise from this circum- 

 stance, are eliminated by the system of observing on norih and south 

 stars for the latitude, and on east and west stars for the time, the re- 

 sults obtained to-night, both for the latitude and longitude, are con- 

 sidered satisfactory.
