RECOPvD AND RESULTS OP 



Sources of error in our observations have been specially examined, and such cor- 

 rections as were found necessary have been applied. The results show the careful 

 and conscientious manner in which these observations were made. For comparison 

 with the results at Van Rensselaer Harbor' from Dr. Kane's observations in 1853 

 and 1854, the reductions are made on a uniform plan, as far as practicable, and in 

 each case special reference is given. 



Respecting the free access of the tide wave to the place of observation, the 

 locality was suitably selected (see the small chart accompanying the discussion of 

 the astronomical observations, Part I of this series). The apparatus was mounted 

 in close vicinity to the brig, near the head of the port. 



The observers, Messrs. H. G. RadclifT, G. F. Knorr, and C. C. Starr, are indicated, 

 in the record, by their initials.
