OPERATIONS IN THE PENINSULA. 29^ 



tbat all the errors are intended to be combined in 

 the distance between Ry?na?idroog and Yei^racondah. 

 From that the triangles are carried eastward, and the 

 side Yerracondah 2im\ Kylaaghiir again brought out, 

 differing from the former two feet, which will show, 

 by proportioning the said side to the length of the 

 new base, that had the triangles been carried on, and 

 that base computed therefrom, it would have differed 

 from the measurement 3yV inches. The distance, 

 therefore, between Kijlasghur and Yerracondah, is the 

 second e'reat distance for connectino; the meridian 

 lines. 



The third of these distances is that between Yer 

 racondah and Savoidroog, which is had from the base 

 Scictudroog and Nmulydi^oog tu the northward, and 

 Savendroog Deorabetta to the southward, differing 1 1 

 feet, the mean of which is made use of. 



The same two sides are used as bases to proceed to 

 the westward : the stations to the northward are 

 Dcvaroydroog, Bomanelly, and MuUapiuuiabetta ^ those 

 to the southward are Bundhullydroog, Mysoor hill, 

 and Mullapunuabetta ; and, from the mean of these, 

 (the difference being 5 feet) the fourth great distance 

 is had between Savendroog and Alidlapuimabetta. 



Finding the three stations, comprehending the two 

 last distances, fall very favourably with respect to 

 each other, the positions of their meridians have been 

 fixed, witli more than ordinary care, in moving to the 

 westward. But, as this will be more particularly 

 treated of in giving an account of the perpendicu- 

 lar arcs deduced therefrom, I shall proceed to state 

 the manner in which the triangles have been con- 

 tinued across the o-.eat mountains that form the 



western ghauts.
