PROF. QUIMBY'S REPORT. 



To PROF. C. H. HITCHCOCK : I beg leave to submit the following 

 report of the geodetic work done by your order the past year. I occu- 

 pied, during the month of October, 1869, the following stations, and, 

 although the weather was very unfavorable, succeeded in obtaining satis- 

 factory observations on each : The observatory at Dartmouth college ; 

 Moose mountain, Hanover ; Kearsarge, Warner ; Uncanoonuc, Goff stown ; 

 Monadnock, Jaffrey; and Ascutney, Windsor, Vt. The station upon 

 Kearsarge was at an angle of the line between the towns of Warner and 

 Wilmot.
