From the examination of the first of the above tables it results that, if we- 

 adhere to the geodesic operations aloue, the number -j^^ expresses by how muclv 

 the terrestrial globe differs from the spherical form, and the numbers 6,377 and 

 6,358 (kilometers) give the dimensions of the greater and less or equatorial and 

 polar radii, an approximation which might, in all probability, be qualified with 

 a higher degree of exactness by adopting either the fundamental elements given 

 by Bessel, the astronomer of the most enviable reputation of the curr(;nt century, 

 or those deduced somewhat later, and, of course, from more copious data by the 

 distinguished director of the Observatory of Greenwich, Professor Airy. The
