FIELD POINT NATURAL BED. 
Beginning at a point in the Commissioners’ line of jurisdiction, where 
it is intersected by a line ranging over the steeple of the Second Con- 
gregational church at Greenwich and the extreme east end of the 
‘‘marble house,” formerly used as a marble factory, which stands near 
the steamboat dock; running thence, southerly, along said range line 
to its point of intersection [known in Commissioners’ buoy book as No. 
453], with a line ranging westerly over the church spire at Rye, N. Y., 
and the south gable of the westernmost house on Calf Island. Said 
point is determined by the following sextant angles: Americus to Mead, 
g9° 20’; Mead to Great Captains Island lighthouse, 82° 30’; Horse 
Neck spire to Portchester spire, 77° 29; Portchester spire to Great Cap- 
tains Island lighthouse, 93° 30’. Thence running easterly to a point 
[known in Commissioners’ buoy books as number 455], formed at the 
intersection of two lines: one line ranging westerly over a large tree 
in Portchester and the center of the eastern house on Calf Island (a slim 
cedar tree is in the same range) ; and the other line ranging northerly 
over the steeple of the Second Congregational church at Greenwich, 
and the west side of Black Rock, west of the Americus House. This 
point may be found by the following sextant angles: Americus to 
Mead, 90° 15’; Mead to Great Captains Island lighthouse, 75° 27’ ; 
Horse Neck spire to Portchester spire, 75° 11’; Portchester spire to 
Great Captains Island lighthouse, 86° 00’. Thence running south- 
westerly to a point [known in Commissioners’ buoy books as number 
456], formed at the intersection of three lines: The first line ranging 
westerly over the northeast corner of the north house on Calf Island 
and the north cedar tree at the shore on the east side of Calf Island ; 
the second line ranging also westerly, over the south edge of the 
Brooks’ House and the north side of the shed which stands northeast 
of the barns on Calf Island; and the third line ranging northerly over 
the steeple of the Second Congregational church at Greenwich and the 
flag-pole on the west end of Caleb Holmes’ storehouse. This point is 
determined by the following sextant angles: Americus to Mead, 98° 
54’; Mead to Great Captains Island lighthouse, 93° 55’; Horse Neck 
spire to Portchester spire, 75° 48’ 30’’ ; Portchester spire to Great Cap- 
tains Island lighthouse, 103° 48’. Thence running northwesterly to a 
point [known in Commissioners’ buoy book as number 457], formed at 
the intersection of two lines; one line ranging over Lloyd’s Neck bluff 
and the east side of the east clump at Little Captains Island, at about 
half the height of the clump; and the other line ranging over the east 
end of the dining room of the Americus House and the center of the 
white rock at the extreme south end of Field Point. This point is 
determined by the following sextant angles: Little Captain to Ameri- 
cus, 87° 27’; Americus to Mead, 128° 37’; Americus to Portchester 
spire, 113° 37’; Portchester spire to Great Captains Island lighthouse,
