 which our best thanks are due. 



APPENDIX. 



The instrument chiefly employed was a 6-inch transit theodolite 

 by Cooke with verniers reading to 20" in altitude and azimuth. 

 Most of the observations were made at two points very near the 

 axis, which may be designated by a, l>. Station a was at a distance 

 of 61 feet to the south-west of the centre of the temple, and I 

 364 feet to the north-east. The distance from the centre of Stone- 

 henge to Salisbury Spire being 41,981 feet, the calculated corrections 

 for parallax at the points of observation with reference to Salisbury 

 Spire are :

(2.) Absulitfe Azimuth*. All the azimuths were referred to that of 

 Salisbury Spire, the azimuth of which was determined by observations 

 of the Sun and Polaris.
