Preparation of the abstracts per station* $3 00 



Publishing the same on the supposition that there are 500

 the form of the Smithsonian tables for 1855, for composition, 

 50 cents per token for press work, $7 50 per ream for paper, 

 and a suitable amount for contingencies 6 00

*About 70 per cent, of this work may be done by the observers, and if correctly this 

 item of cost will be proportionally reduced. The estimate is some 18 per cent, below the 

 actual cost, the advantage of having the work done under the direction of the Smithsonian 

 Institution being supposed to be sufficient to make up for the deficiency.
