* Note sy run Commirrnxz.—Nos. 30, 31, and 32 are according to Mr. Borden’s survey, not having been principal 
stations of Mr. Paine. Their connexion with the survey is important, from their being the site of a series of indepen. 
dent astronomical observations by Mr. Bond and Mr. Holcomb, which, when reduced, will further test the precision of 
the two methods employed by Messrs. Paine and Borden.
