* Nos. 29, 30, and 31, are according to Mr. Borden's survey, not having 

 been principal stations of Mr. Paine. Their connection with the survey is 

 important, from their being the site of a series of independent astronomical 

 observations by Mr. Bond and Mr. Holcomb, which, when reduced, will fur- 

 ther test the precision of the two methods employed by Messrs. Paine and 

 Borden.
