OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. 41 
material will enable you to produce maps which will in every par- 
ticular meet the demands of modern scientific map work. 
The wall map at your office is kept, so far as its small scale will 
allow, up to date. All available time is spent in necessary addi- 
tions to the large scale section maps. 
Tracings have been used as expedients to carry along work that 
could not be properly finished while in hand. 
After making the collations spoken of in this report, and bring- 
ing the books of signal descriptions up to date, the written records 
of the Department will be in entirely practicable shape. Obstacles, 
many and great, have hitherto prevented the placing of these 
records in complete map form.
