ALTITUDES. 



the several county maps. Exceptions to this rule may occur. Our inten- 

 tion is to have the names conform to those adopted upon our geological 

 map. The most important deviations from the usage of the county 

 maps have been explained in Chapter IX. 



The results of the numerous railroad and special surveys here ex- 

 hibited, together make up a complete network of interlocking series of 

 accurately determined altitudes throughout the entire state. With this 

 as a basis of reference, it is believed that the barometrical measurements 

 of the altitudes of villages and of general sections will be found of the 

 highest value, in an inquiry into the geology, climate, and physical char- 

 acter of New Hampshire.
