TABLE OF LATITUDir;S. 



Washington, D. C, June 2*J, 1856. 

 Dear Sir : I have the honor herewith to enclose the final determinations of latitude deduced 

 from a careful examination and discussion of your series of astronomical observations. 



The variety of your observations has afforded the means of well determining the chronometric 

 and instrumental corrections, thus causing, in most instances, a close agreement in the latitudes 

 deduced from stars far north and south. To facilitate the calculations, the most approved 

 formulas and tables have been used. 



Very respectfully, your obedient servant, 



DANIEL G. MAJOK. 

 Lieut. John G. Parke, Topographical Engineers.
