Table 85. 

 GRAVITY. 



105 



In this table the results of a number of the more recent gravity determinations are bought together. They serve to 

 show the degree of accuracy which may be assumed for the numbers in Table 112. In general, gravity is a little 

 lower than the calculated value for stations far inland and slightly higher on the coast line.

 Washington taken as 980.111. For the latter see Appendix 5 of the Coast and Geodetic Survey Report for 1901.
